Moirlanich Longhouse is a cruck-framed byre that housed Gaelic speaking families back in the 19th century at the foot of Glen Lochay, a mile north-west of the village of Killin in Stirlingshire, Scotland.
The property housed five generations of the Robertson family before being vacated for the last time in 1968. It remained in good condition when being purchased by the National Trust for Scotland in 1992 who preserved it as it would have been in the 19th century to show visitors what living here in a rural Gaelic-speaking area was like.
The Longhouse lies on the right-hand side of the Glen Lochay road which leads west from the A827 at the northern end of Killin. There is a parking area on the left-hand side of the road just before the Longhouse is reached.
