Full Description

The area known as the Aird Peninsula, Shieldaig was surveyed by MacInnes, A. and Doe, T. in 2013. The Aird area has been well populated and worked probably in pre clearance times around the 18th century or even before. The building type is typical of this time. The evidence of ports in every area of settlement shows use of the sea for both access and fishing.
