Not quite as remote as Carl makes out, but certainly near the end of the road. The chapel is well worth a look, near the door is a wee bullaun stone, it is about 10cm wide and 8cm deep.
No idea why Canmore don't mention it or the spindle whorl next to it.
Good to see the old ruins of the township being renovated even if it is for holiday homes.
