Duncarron, Medieval fortified settlement in North Lanarkshire, Scotland.

The 20-acre site contains multiple wooden structures, including longhouses, short houses, and a lookout tower built using traditional medieval construction methods.

Construction of this medieval village began in 2004, with volunteers installing over 5000 wooden posts to create an authentic palisade completed in 2011.

The settlement functions as an educational center where visitors experience medieval Scottish life through demonstrations and hands-on activities throughout the year.

Located 40 minutes from Glasgow and accessible daily from 10 AM to 5:30 PM, the village offers guided tours that require advance booking through their website.

The site features movie props including a battering ram from Robin Hood, donated by Russell Crowe, and a trebuchet from Netflix's Outlaw King production.
