Guided Walk: Roundhouses & Ethnobotany at Achtercairn
Saturday 27th June: 10am
Join volunteer Jeremy Fenton and Ranger Katie Grant for a combined archaeology and ethnobotany walk along the Achtercairn Archaeology Trail.
Step back in time on the Achtercairn Roundhouse Trail, where the remains of Iron Age roundhouses tell the story of early life in Gairloch. Discover how people built their homes, used the land, and adapted to their environment over 2,000 years ago.
Alongside the archaeology, this walk also explores the relationship between people and plants in the landscape. With guidance from Katie, you will look more closely at the natural environment along the route, considering how plants have been used, understood and lived with over time. Please book either by contacting the Museum or via EventBrite.
