Auchindrain historic township is now closed
info@auchindrain.org.uk
Following decisions taken by the public sector funding for Auchindrain Township has at this moment been cut completely from March 2025. While the Trustees continue to seek support, the site will currently be unable to open and all staff will be made redundant. The Trustees hope a solution might be found that will prevent the disposal and dispersal of the collections, which represent the cumulative history and life of the site and its people.
We have set up a petition with space for comments and would ask for your support in signing and circulating this.
We have also set up a crowdfunder with gift aid to try and raise whatever sums we can to help prolong the life of the site.
The Trustees would like to thank Jenni Minto MSP for her unstinting support the site and its maintenance.
