Full Description

Littleferry is reportedly the site of a skirmish in 1746. Caithness men on the way south to join Bonnie Prince Charlie prior to Culloden, became lost and were trapped on the point and killed by troops of the Sutherlands. They were reputedly buried on site and the discovery of human remains in the 1930s and again in 2003 have been linked by locals to this activity - HAW 12/2003
Nothing visible during field survey.
