NM78SE 2, NM78SW 10 and NM78SE 13 are all part of a dispersed settlement known locally as Lower Polnish. From map evidence, it appears that NM78SE 2 and NM78SW 10 may have formed a single township, which was already largely deserted by the time of the 1st Edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1876, sheet cxxxvi). NM78SE 13 appears to have been established slightly later and remained occupied well into the twentieth century, with one building remaining roofed and occupied until the present day.
