Full Description
A farmstead, comprising one roofed bothy and up to seven roofless rectangular buildings and enclosures, was recorded during a survey of the West Affric Estate by J Wordsworth for the National Trust for Scotland.
The bothy, at NH 0534 1835, has been restored. It measures 12m by 6m overall and has chimneys built into its gable-ends. It may correspond to the cruck-framed building (NH01SE 1.01) previously noted at Camban. <1> <2>
