Moirlanich Longhouse Soundscape
Pitlochry Festival Theatre and the National Trust for Scotland have collaborated on an exciting project to deliver a sound installation at Moirlanich Longhouse.
In partnership with Pitlochry Festival Theatre, The National Trust for Scotland have created a specially-commissioned soundscape at Moirlanich Longhouse, a beautifully conserved byre dwelling nestled in Glen Lochay near Killin. The longhouse offers a unique opportunity to visit a traditional rural home, which has scarcely changed since its last inhabitant left in 1968.
The soundscape is the first in a series of collaborative projects for the Trust and Pitlochry Festival Theatre and is designed to enhance the visitor experience, connecting visitors with the people in the past.
For the project’s lead Amy Liptrott, Moirlanich Longhouse is a time capsule: ‘It really felt like the outside world had been paused when I went inside. I knew immediately I wanted to create a soundscape inside the house to bring the sense of the hustle and bustle a busy, working house would have had.’
