Volunteers needed to help safeguard historic Mid Argyll township

"Auchindrain has survived for centuries because communities looked after it," said Jen Broadhurst, trustee of Auchindrain Township Museum Trust. "Now it’s our turn. We’re looking for people who want to be part of preserving something genuinely irreplaceable and sharing it with visitors from across Scotland and beyond."

Volunteers will receive full training covering the township’s history, buildings, farming practices, and the families who lived there. No prior experience or qualifications are required – just enthusiasm for heritage and a willingness to help others discover the unique site.

While the trust particularly welcomes volunteers from Mid Argyll, applications from further afield are also encouraged, and flexible arrangements can be made to suit individual availability.

"Every visitor who experiences Auchindrain leaves with a deeper understanding of Highland life and Scotland’s rural heritage," added Jen. "Our volunteers make that possible. 

"They’re not just providing information – they’re connecting people to their heritage and ensuring this irreplaceable site has a sustainable future."
