Auchindrain (Scottish Gaelic: Achadh an Droighinn: 'thorn field'[1]) lies on the A83, 6 miles (10 km) south of Inveraray in Argyll and Bute, Scotland.
Much of this work is carried out by volunteers and enthusiasts like the West of Scotland Dry Stone Walling Association.
[2] Also within the 22 acres (9 ha) of museum grounds are other man-made structures in various condition of repair, including stone dykes, stackyards, stack bases, kailyards, middens, pathways, roads, a corn kiln and evidence of run rig farming methods.
Achadh an Droighinn (Auchindrain) is first found in documentary references from the early 16th century.
Until 2010 the township was kept on tick over, with nature mostly prevented from encroaching, the paths kept open but the vast majority of potential visitors driving past.
