Auchindrain
Auchindrain, or in Gaelic Achadh an Droighinn, field of the thorntree, is recognised as
being the most complete surviving example of a Highland farm township, a type of
settlement representative of much of Scottish rural history.
The site is generally acknowledged as being national significant: it is designated as a
Conservation Area; it is Category A Listed in its entirety, and its buildings are a
Recognised Collection - one of the small number of collections held by museums
other than the National Museums and National Galleries of Scotland that the Scottish
Government formally recognises as being of national importance.
