Duncarron Medieval Village

Duncarron Medieval Village Open air venue & film set The Clanranald Trust is currently building a full-scale replica of an early Medieval Fortified Village.

This will be typical of the Scottish Clan Chief’s residence throughout the earlier part of the last millennium. The village settlements were based around a ‘Bailey’ (the Clan Chief’s home and Clan meeting hall), which was usually built on or beside a ‘Motte’ (a natural man made mound). The level of fortification surrounding the Bailey and any other associated buildings depended upon various aspect

s including, the wealth & size of the Clan, the fort’s location and the strength of other local Clans or aggressor forces. An authentic medieval working community atmosphere will be created, where groups, parties and individuals can participate in and view a range of activities, typical of the period. This development will be used as the physical base for the Trust, working with local education authorities, community & theatre groups, national tourism industry, etc. Through participation with these groups, the Trust will create a unique opportunity for promoting Scottish heritage & culture through interaction, providing educational benefits to school children, students and the general public. Promoted as a popular tourist destination, the raised profile of the area will also benefit the local tourism sector economy. Generating enthusiasm towards historical culture will be achieved through the provision of a complete interactive learning environment, incorporating national curriculum requirements, with hands-on experience, craftwork, self-sufficiency agricultural methods, ongoing building maintenance and the general living skills typical of the people of these times. This will be a living-working village where people will produce arts and crafts by traditional methods from their workshops. Every effort will be made to utilise clothing materials similar to the times, and Staff and Volunteers will be in period dress. To add further to the atmosphere, Duncarron will offer banquets for weddings and special occasions, events and other activities. It is also expected that the authentic appearance of the Fort will create demand for its use as a location for film productions and period dramas, etc.

We have often kept our struggles close to our hearts, but tonight we feel it’s time to lean on the kindness and generosity of our friends. Our dear friend Charlie, the man behind Duncarron and the Clanranald Trust, has faced a challenging journey since sustaining a leg injury in August. Sadly, his condition has worsened, and it has prompted us to reach out for support in this time of need. More details on the GoFundMe page.
Charlie has devoted over 25 years of his life to public education and entertainment, touching the hearts of countless individuals along the way. His passion and dedication have not only inspired many but have also created a sense of community and belonging for those who have had the privilege of knowing him and the Clan. His passion and dedication have brought history to life, inspiring countless individuals to connect with the past in meaningful ways.
As he navigates this challenging time, we are reaching out to those who have benefitted from his vision and generosity. Any support from our community would be immensely appreciated, whether it's through donations, sharing the GoFundMe, or simply sending your good wishes. We are hopeful that with the collective strength of friends and supporters, Charlie will recover swiftly and continue to bring joy and learning to many more. Thank you for being a part of this journey with us.
