Moirlanich Longhouse and its collection

Visit this perfectly preserved cruck frame cottage and get a glimpse of Scottish village life in the 19th century. Moirlanich was home to at least three generations of the Robertson family, with the last member leaving in 1968. The building has hardly been changed and retains many of its original features. Next door there's an unusual collection of working clothes and 'Sunday best' which were discovered in the longhouse, and an exhibition on the history and restoration of the building. A glimpse of Scottish village life in the 19th century.

  • Apollo's Insights AI-Generated

    Moirlanich Longhouse in Killin, Scotland, offers visitors a glimpse into 19th-century Scottish rural life. This well-preserved example of a traditional longhouse provides an authentic experience of how people lived and worked in the past. The house features a central hearth, box beds, and original painted interiors, which help to illustrate the daily lives of its former inhabitants. Visitors appreciate the informative displays and the opportunity to explore the building's unique architecture. However, some guests note that the site is relatively small and can be toured quickly. The remote location adds to its charm but may require some effort to reach. While not as extensive as larger museums, Moirlanich Longhouse is valued for its historical significance and the insight it provides into Scottish rural heritage.
