Background
History
In the early 19th century, Lord MacDonald created a township of 40 small crofts, 2 to on average. The hill grazing was less than a tenth of the size of most other Sleat townships, with many more crofters. It is thought that the crofts were deliberately made too small to live on, forcing the crofters to fish during the herring boom.
