Full Description

NG30SW 8 3200 0137.

On the shore at Guirdil there are two ruinous cottages and, in the adjoining fank, traces of what may be the wall-footings of a rectangular building. Of the two cottages, that on the NE is earlier, possibly built between 1801 and 1824 (see NG 30 SW 7), while the other is probably a later shepherd's cottage. A third cottage is in use as a bothy.
Visited by RCAHMS May 1983
