Manish Beg, a depopulated township, comprises some 14 ruined houses and some out-buildings and yards or small enclosures. There are lazy-beds to the N. The township was probably depopulated by Mr Rainy of Edinburgh, who bought the island of Raasay, in 1846 (Information from Miss Nicholson, 'Eilean Tigh', Raasay, and from Mr Macleod, shoemaker, Clachan, Raasay).
