Isle of Cumbrae recreated in video game Minecraft
20 April 2021
As part of a program to inform young people about the region's history, the Isle of Cumbrae was recreated in Minecraft.
Students at Abertay University in Dundee built Cumbraecraft which was based on the well-known Ayrshire coast tourist spot.
The game features eight lessons targeted at elementary school children.
Garrison House, Lion Rock, and Cathedral of the Isles are some of the places included on the virtual island.
Crocodile Rock, the port and the Millport library are also explorable in the game.
It was specifically designed to be used in both classroom and home-learning settings.
The project was carried out by Romain Bourdon, Fergus Coyne, and Claire Monaghan (Games students) during their studies at Abertay’s School of Design and Informatics.
Due to current travel restrictions, the trio were unable to visit the island before they began their work and had to rely on images as their only point of reference.
The game is part of a rehabilitation program that is being implemented by North Ayrshire Council and Historic Environment Scotland.
Kasia Smith, the regeneration officer at the council, said she was delighted that the game was made available to schoolchildren.
She said, "Cumbrae has such an interesting history and it's so vital that our youngsters know about their community's history and the culture."
"Our Millport Conservation Area Regeneration Scheme has been a real success in preserving the island's history and Cumbraecraft has allowed us to reach to a younger audience."
