A Clanranald Trust spokesperson said: “Fast forward through time at Duncarron Medieval Village while we are visited by an array of people from very different times with an ever increasing list of immersive family fun and educational activities. There’s something for everyone.”

Duncarron was created after years of development and hard work and help from Clanranald Trust pal and champion Hollywood actor Russell Crowe – who actually visited the site back in 2011 – and officially opened its doors as a living history attraction and potential feature film location following a special weekend festival in May 2019.

At the time, Clanranald Trust founder Charlie Allan said: “I’ve had a dream of creating a historical experience like this for more than 20 years. It has taken a little longer than I’d ever anticipated.”
