Replica prehistoric roundhouse planned for Gairloch

A replica Iron Age roundhouse is planned for Gairloch Museum, designed from archaeological evidence gathered at nearby Achtercairn. Roundhouses, with circular stone walls and turf roofs, were once a common sight across Scotland between 2,800 and 1,600 years ago. About 200 sites have been identified around Gairloch alone. The museum says the new structure would be more than a display, acting as a working space for schools and community use.
