NG3525 : The tenant farmer's house, Tusdale

taken 19 years ago, near to Eynort, Isle of Skye, Scotland

The tenant farmer's house, Tusdale
The tenant farmer's house, Tusdale
Tusdale, two miles from the closest road or current population, has the remains of dozens of buildings abandoned since the clearances. This is the biggest ruin in the valley. It was the house of the tenant sheep farmer for whom the rest of the people were cleared. This was once a well-populated place. South-facing, well-sheltered and with a wide expanse of green and fertile ground, it is easy to see why. Today only a few sheep roam among the ruins.
