Bringing history to life by recreating a 17th Century turf-walled creel house at Glencoe © Supplied by NTS Thistle Camps carry out a wide range of conservation projects at National Trust for Scotland sites. The National Trust for Scotland (NTS) has launched one of its more unusual appeals by asking landowners to donate turf to help reconstruct a traditional turf-walled ‘creel’ house in Glencoe. Creel houses have been completely lost from Scotland’s architectural landscape, but they were a building style that would have dominated in West Highlands rural communities until the 19th Century. Archaeological excavations in the heart of Glencoe have shown that creel houses were once dotted throughout the glen in small townships and, thanks to the support of hundreds of donors, the Trust plans to recreate one particular building that would have been occupied during the 17th Century and at the time of the infamous Massacre of 1692.
