Crofting township laid out in 1845 on the grid pattern unique to Gairloch Estate. Pre-1845 structures and boundaries are visible within the higher lots. Some of the 1845 houses placed in the middle of the square lots are now abandoned, but those adjacent to the main road or the two transverse roads are still occupied, and there is a scattering of new housing and buildings under construction.
