Duncarron Medieval Village

Duncarron Medieval Village Edicational Facility & Venue The Clanranald Trust is currently building a full-scale replica of an early Medieval Fortified Village.

This will be typical of the Scottish Clan Chief’s residence throughout the earlier part of the last millennium. The village settlements were based around a ‘Bailey’ (the Clan Chief’s home and Clan meeting hall), which was usually built on or beside a ‘Motte’ (a natural man made mound). The level of fortification surrounding the Bailey and any other associated buildings depended upon various aspect

s including, the wealth & size of the Clan, the fort’s location and the strength of other local Clans or aggressor forces. An authentic medieval working community atmosphere will be created, where groups, parties and individuals can participate in and view a range of activities, typical of the period. This development will be used as the physical base for the Trust, working with local education authorities, community & theatre groups, national tourism industry, etc. Through participation with these groups, the Trust will create a unique opportunity for promoting Scottish heritage & culture through interaction, providing educational benefits to school children, students and the general public. Promoted as a popular tourist destination, the raised profile of the area will also benefit the local tourism sector economy. Generating enthusiasm towards historical culture will be achieved through the provision of a complete interactive learning environment, incorporating national curriculum requirements, with hands-on experience, craftwork, self-sufficiency agricultural methods, ongoing building maintenance and the general living skills typical of the people of these times. This will be a living-working village where people will produce arts and crafts by traditional methods from their workshops. Every effort will be made to utilise clothing materials similar to the times, and Staff and Volunteers will be in period dress. To add further to the atmosphere, Duncarron will offer banquets for weddings and special occasions, events and other activities. It is also expected that the authentic appearance of the Fort will create demand for its use as a location for film productions and period dramas, etc.

Beautiful Medieval Map of Duncarron drawn by Michael Paget
do zoom into all the wonderful details!

From the Artist himself : "For this map of Duncarron Medieval Village, I wanted to take all the sights, activities, events, and nods to films made there, and bring them together in one fun scene. Style-wise, I turned first to medieval illustrated manuscripts, and the wacky blend of history and fantasy from their margins. To unify the different folk and creatures, I chose a colour scheme that reminded me of old Ordnance Survey maps, adding a newsprint texture above. A recent retro feel for a place that brings our history to the modern world "
