VOLUNTEER with us!

Help us bring Highland history to life

Auchindrain Township Museum is a special place, and our volunteers are at the heart of everything we do. Whether you're passionate about Scottish heritage, love meeting visitors from around the world, or simply want to spend time in a beautiful and peaceful setting, we'd love to hear from you.

We're looking for friendly, enthusiastic people to help with a range of activities including welcoming visitors, sharing the township's stories, supporting events and activities, helping with conservation work, gardening and grounds maintenance, or assisting with archival and research projects. No previous experience is necessary – just an interest in preserving this unique piece of Highland history and a willingness to learn.

Volunteering at Auchindrain is incredibly rewarding. You'll gain new skills, meet like-minded people, and play a vital role in keeping Scotland's only surviving Highland farming township alive for future generations. We provide full training and support, and we're flexible with commitment levels – whether you can spare a few hours a month or want to volunteer regularly, you'll make a real difference.

Interested in volunteering? Complete our registration form or email us info@auchindrain.org.uk  to find out more. We'd love to welcome you to the team!

Your membership or support helps maintain this unique heritage site for future generations while giving you wonderful benefits and exclusive access.

Township Pass (Local Loyalty)
For residents of Argyll (PA postcodes) | £20 individual / £45 family

Live locally? The Township Pass is your key to unlimited visits throughout the year. Pop in whenever you fancy a peaceful walk through history, bring visiting friends and family, or simply enjoy the changing seasons across the township. As a passholder, you can also bring one guest for 50% off admission once per quarter – perfect for sharing this special place with others.

This pass is our way of saying thank you to our local community. Whether you're researching family history, seeking inspiration for a creative project, or just love having a beautiful heritage site on your doorstep, the Township Pass gives you freedom to visit as often as you like.

Township Sustainer (Monthly Giving)
For supporters wishing to give regularly | £5 per month

Become part of Auchindrain's sustaining circle with a small monthly gift that makes a big difference. Your regular support helps us plan for the future, maintain the buildings, and develop new interpretation and learning programmes.

As a Sustainer, you'll receive our exclusive monthly "Digital Postcard" – a behind-the-scenes glimpse into life at the museum, from conservation work in progress to wildlife spotted on the grounds, seasonal changes, and upcoming events. It's a lovely way to stay connected to the township throughout the year.

Township Sustainers pay standard admission when visiting, but your monthly gift is eligible for Gift Aid, which means the government adds 25p to every £1 you give at no extra cost to you.

Friends of Auchindrain (Member Pass)
For individuals wishing to participate in oversight | £35 per annum

Want to be more deeply involved in Auchindrain's future? Friends membership gives you unlimited entry plus voting rights in Trust governance. As a Friend, you'll have your say in how the museum develops, receive invitations to AGMs and special member events, and get your own physical Members' Card.

This tier is ideal if you're passionate about heritage preservation and want to play an active role in shaping Auchindrain's direction. You'll be joining a community of dedicated supporters who care deeply about this remarkable place and its ongoing story.

Diaspora Circle (Global Stewardship)
For international supporters | £50 per annum (approx. $65 USD)

Are you connected to Argyll through family history, or simply captivated by Highland heritage from afar? The Diaspora Circle welcomes supporters from across the globe – particularly those in North America and Australasia – who want to help preserve this important piece of Scotland's past.

Your annual membership includes one free visit with afternoon tea should you make it to Auchindrain (we'd love to meet you!), plus our comprehensive annual "State of the Township" digital report featuring stories, photography, and progress updates.
