Guirdil 2 NG 320 013 NG30SW
On the shore at Guirdil there are two ruinous cottages and, in the adjoining fank, traces of what may be the wall-footings of a rectangular building. Of the two cottages, that on the NE is earlier, possibly built between 1801 and 1824 (see NG30SW 7), while the other is probably a later shepherd's cottage. A third cottage is in use as a bothy.
