A popular Scottish tourist attraction is to reopen for visitors after suffering damage in a recent earthquake.
The historic township of Auchindrain, Bail’ Ach’ an Droighinn, will be open from June 1st offering guided tours.
Some of the buildings at the 22-acre heritage site on the A83 between Inveraray and Lochgilphead were damaged when the earthquake hit the area in November last year.
Auchindrain Director Bob Clark explained that this has forced them to adapt their visitor experience.
He said: “The earthquake took its toll on a number of our buildings and, as a result, we will have to limit access to guided tours only until the buildings are made safe for visitors.
“We attract thousands of visitors every year keen to see and experience what life was like in the past in rural Scotland."
Mr Clark explained that there were once thousands of small independent farming communities, known as townships, spread across Scotland, but that today Auchindrain is the only remaining living example.
He added: "We are proud to be able to help people see and enjoy this special and now unique part of Scottish history and will continue to work hard to preserve it for the future."
The team are now no longer able to welcome guests on a drop-in basis but stated that the new temporary arrangement will "enhance" the visitor experience.
Mr Clark said: "We look forward to continuing to welcome people from across Scotland, the UK and the world.
“We will be open four days each week and there will be guided tours each day until the end of October."
