Askernish, Loch An Eilein

Another of these ‘high cairn crannogs’ is situated in Loch An Eilein. Askernish is the name of large house. The biggest island in the loch is home to a ruined dun which was said to have once had a causeway. Sadly the causeway has long vanished.

Parking is available on the north side of the loch, a short walk back down the A865 takes you reasonably close to the island.
