Hi guys, a lady who has relatives on Kintyre wrote to me after hearing my CD and she talked very interestingly of her many visits to an old derelict village which was "deserted after the clearances". Not too far from Grogport from what I can gather, and somewhere that I'd really love to visit when we are next up.
Does anyone have any more details of even photo's of the place? And, I noticed this on the Carradale Goat forum, wonder if it is the same place, or somewhere completely different - but just as interesting!
We enjoyed a beautiful walk yesterday via the car park over near Brackley to the shore at Grianan mainly on the Kirnassie walk. I was fascinated by the village which is derelict and lost in the forest just off the path down to the shore. I have been trying to find out if it had a name and why/when it became empty. The houses were beautifully built and seem to have been of a strong construction. Does anyone remember the details or is it all too long ago?
