On Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th August the Munro Barn at Auchindrain Township Museum is being rebuilt.
Come, watch and help with the first stages of the rebuilding of the Munro Barn, in ruins since storm damage in 1968. Te building work itself will be done by members of the West of Scotland branch of the Dry Stone Walling Association but there will be plenty of other ways ot being involved. (There’s a lot of stone to be moved close to the job.)
On Saturday 31st July from 6.30pm-10.30pm, there is a Performance Ceilidh at Auchindrain Township Museum.
In an evening of music, dance and a buffet of home-made Scottish foods, a major draw is the presence of the Inverclyde Gaelic Waulking Group, singing traditional Gaelic songs. Local musicians are invited to bring pipes, fiddles, accordions, voices and do their virtuoso bit.
On Saturday 31st July and Sunday 1st August there is a Dry Stone Walling Course at Auchindrain Township Museum.
Class size is limited and there are only a very few places left. This is a two-day beginners’ course led by members of the West of Scotland branch of the Dry Stone Walling Association.
Participants will be involved in rebuilding a length of wall that kept grazing animals away from the townships’s buildings, near the McCallum house.
Course Fee: £50. For further details, contact Rebecca Martin on 01499 320 274.
