What I took to be one of the many hut circles in the vicinity but, according to drewbhoy, they’re mostly sheepfolds and farm building ruins left as a grim reminder of ‘The Clearances’.

Sadly a lot of the 'Clearances' happened in the early 1800s, the ferm toun near here was cleared in 1807. Unbelievably monuments were put up in memory of the Duke Of Sutherland who carried out these horrible deeds. Some people are doing the right thing and continually try to take it down.
