This township lies to the W and SW of the junction of the Trumpan and Geary roads and is bounded to the N and W by the Allt na Claise
Moire and the sea-shore. The southern extent is bounded by a straight drystone wall aligned from NNE to SSW from the road junction to the shore.
The farm of Peine Staptine is first documented in a rent roll of 1683 of the MacLeod estate (R C MacLeod 1928, Vol.I) and in 1788 when there were four married couples, fourteen children and five unmarried adults (SRO GD 9/3 Abstract Minutes of the British Fisheries Society 1786-1788), living on the farm. It appears to have been reorganised as a crofting township in the first half of the 19th century in conjunction with Hallin (see NG25NW 11).
