Brandarsaig
The bright, low winter sun casts dark shadows in the heather.
Beyond are remains of buildings and walls in Brandarsaig.
The Highland Council Historic Environment Record entry reads: "Lying on east facing grassy slopes above Brandarsaig Bay is the deserted township of Brandarsaig, comprising about 11 ruined houses. There are several ruined out-buildings with associated enclosures. Rig cultivation is much in evidence all around." (LinkExternal link ).
