Cruck Cottage

Dumfries and Galloway

In Person

 Cruck Cottage is the only remaining example of a basic dwelling that was very common in the 18th and 19th century. It has been carefully restored and maintained and suitably furnished, and provides an insight into the living conditions of a past age.

Live accordion music and craft demonstrations will be accompanied by a lit peat fire. 

Staff will be available throughout to give visitors an insight into the history of the cottage, and an explanation of the cottage construction.
