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.

Visitors to Glencoe National Nature Reserve can now explore the turf and creel house for themselves at the National Trust for Scotland’s Glencoe Visitor Centre, where its heather-thatched roof and earth walls blend into their mountain backdrop.
While stepping inside to discover the workmanship that has gone into the building, visitors will also be immersed in the sounds of history, thanks to an installation that conjures up the sounds, speech and songs of life here in the glen 300 years ago.
Developed with the involvement of historians, musicians, local Gaelic speakers and school children, the soundscape comprises over 200 different sound elements that were carefully chosen to give the interior an authentic and evocative atmosphere, with each representing a different local story
Listeners will hear the cry of wildlife and livestock, the commotion of construction and daily toil, the chatter of domestic life, and the sounds of socialising at a traditional evening ‘ceilidh’. Together they create a subtle backdrop of universally recognisable noises alongside
