Visit Glencoe’s newly opened unique replica 17th-century turf and creel house

Tourists and locals alike can now visit a unique 17th-century turf and creel house in Scotland's picturesque Glencoe.

The replica house has been inspired by years of archaeological investigation and historical research into long-vanished settlements, once home to hundreds of people in the heart of the glen.

The turf, wattle and thatch structure was erected using traditional materials, tools and techniques by a team of skilled craftspeople in 2021. It has the same footprint as one of the late 17 th -century dwellings excavated by National Trust for Scotland's archaeologists and volunteers at the former township of Achtriachtan, near the famous ‘Three Sisters’ of Glencoe.
