Full Description
NH67NE 7 69 75.
Close to the Ceann Righ or King's Head Cairn, the foundation of a large castle or building can be traced. The building is said to have been the old mansion house of the property.
NSA 1845; J Noble 1909.
No trace of a castle or mansion could be found in the area, which is now occupied by a dense birch wood.
The depopulation remains behind the croft at NH 700 752 may have led to the above reports, though there is no evidence of there having been a substantial building there.
Visited by OS (R D L) 13 May 1963.
