Duncarron Medieval Village:
Early Clan Heritage Comes To Life with Clanranald Trust
Want to know what part of your Scottish vacation your young son or daughter are most going to remember with great glee? It'll be Duncarron Medieval Village if the Clanranald Trust For Scotland is able to complete it's dream of constructing a full scale fortified early clan outpost and settlement in the Carron Valley southwest of Stirling, Scotland.
It all started as a concept scribbled on a beer mat in 1995. An image of a museum without glass display cabinets, without boundaries. A museum with fully interactive exhibits that would teach about Scotland's past. A place that youngsters and adults would not soon forget. A medieval Scottish fort living and breathing all around them.
From the humble pub beginning, the Clanranald Trust for Scotland is now a recognized charity based in Kincardine, Scotland. The Trust was established in 1995 as an educational organization and has staff members and a large contingent of volunteers who service the objectives of the Trust. The Trust's ultimate goal is to replicate a medieval fortified village as an interactive educational visitor attraction. The idea behind the project is to provide an arena in which groups, individuals and school parties can experience the atmosphere of an authentic medieval working community, Duncarron Medieval Village. The aim is to present a true re-creation of the Scottish nation's past, striving to provide a fitting testimony for our ancestors.
