Ruined bridge across the Abhainn Marulaigh The river drains the lochs in Gleann Dail bho Tuath into Bagh Marulaigh. Considering the general condition of the path/track the bridge remains were very surprising.

Looking towards Bagh Marulaigh Picture taken from the small hillock shown on the map next to the path. The Abhainn Marulaigh can just be glimpsed on its way down to the Bay. The rocky outcrops are very much a feature of this lower section of the track.

Ruin by the path Looks like the ruin of a black house having low thick walls. Nicely situated by a small burn with a lochan out front. There always seems to be bracken near to old habitations.

Ruin by the sheepwash The sheepwash is marked on the 1:25000 OS map. This ruin has a chimney and walled enclosure so is more sophisticated than the first one along the path. The sheepwash being a concrete construction would be much more recent.

Gleann Dail bho Tuath path This track provided access to croft houses at Hartavagh in the first quarter of the 20th century. It was used daily by children to walk to a school halfway between Hartavagh and North Glendale. [Source 25 Walks - The Western Isles, June Parker.] We didn't see any remains of a building when we walked the track, but there was a substantial bridge at <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/656831">NF8116 : Ruined bridge across the Abhainn Marulaigh</a>.
