At NN 672 986 On the flood plain on either side of the River Calder at Dail an Tullaich there are the remains of a township, depopulated circa 1850 (Information from Captain J H Macpherson, Dunmore, Newtonmore, Inverness-shire). It consists of about fourteen buildings, five small enclosures, one large enclosure, a well-preserved corn drying kiln and possibly the amorphous remains of another. The buildings average 8.0m x 4.0m, although one measures 17.0m x 5.0m. They are generally visible as grass covered footings about 0.4m high. On the north of the river a relatively modern sheep fank has been constructed from the remains of earlier buildings. No name could be found for this township.

At Dail an Tullaich there are two townships, one on either side of the River Calder. The Duke of Gordon?s estate map of 1771 shows two groups of buildings on the S side of the River, one of three and the other five (SRO RHP 1835). Both townships are depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Inverness-shire 1872, sheet ci).
