Auchindrain Township Museum’s Audio Tour and documents associated with it gave me some of the best understandings and emotional connections to the Highland Clearances I’ve ever had. I highly recommend treating yourself to the class culture shock of Touring Inveraray Castle then Touring the Township farm museum.
