Accessing Scotland's Past Project

The remains of this farmsteading are situated in moorland on the south-west flank of Cnoc Chalmac. As depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map, published in 1869, it comprised four buildings, two of them lying in the angle of an L-shaped enclosure and the other two a short distance to the N. Except for one of the buildings in the angle of the enclosure, which was partly roofed, all of the buildings were unroofed in 1869. Three unroofed buildings are shown on the modern 1:10000 map (1971).
