Badinloskin, a deserted settlement.

H Fairhurst and G Petrie 1964.

Badinloskin was cleared and the house burned in 1814, by Patrick Sellar, sub-factor of the Sutherland estates, at whose trial in 1816 it was said to have consisted of a dwelling house, a barn, a kiln, a sheepcot and another building, evidently a small bothy.

A Mackenzie 1946.

Cultivated area in moorland with footings of three buildings, measuring 5m by 3m to 18m by 3.5m, and a kiln. Many field clearance heaps lie within an enclosure bank.

Visited by OS 9 May 1961 and 11 May 1977.

A township, comprising four unroofed buildings, one of which has an enclosure attached, and a ring-dyke is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Sutherland 1878, sheet xlv). Six unroofed buildings, two enclosures and the ring-dyke are shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10,000 map (1993).
