The site includes a collection of original stone cottages, a schoolhouse, and a blacksmith’s shop, all reflecting the traditional way of life in rural Scotland.

The area is accessible via the A815 road, and the postcode PA32 covers the surrounding region. The site is managed by the Auchindrain Trust, which works to preserve the heritage of the village for future generations.
