NO18SW 1 centred on 128 819
At NO 130 823 there is an enclosed depopulated township. It comprises two separate groups, the northern group named Dalnacroish (see: NO18SW 26), the Southern group Rienluick (Information from Estate map held at Invercauld house). The footings of about 20 buildings, 4 small enclosures and 5 corn-drying kilns lying within an enclosed area previously cultivated. The presence of a shepherd's house at the N. end of the township suggests that it was deserted when sheep were introduced, probably in the early 19th. century.
Revised at 1/10,000.
