This township, situated on the south side of the Inveraray-Campbeltown trunk road about five and a half miles south-west of Inveraray, is of considerable interest as an example of a multiple-tenancy farm that remained in joint occupation until within comparatively recent years. The continuity of occupation has ensured that Auchindrain, unlike the great majority of comparable clachans in the county, survives in a relatively good state of preservation, and the relationship of the dwelling-houses to their ancillary buildings and enclosures, and the disposition of the associated roadways and field systems, illuminates many aspects of the life of the small West Highland farming communities of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
