Gate and Mailbox to No1 Ungaisidar The un-metalled track beyond the gate leads down to Ungaisidar. You soon reach the limit of vehicular access and the rest of the journey to No1 is definitely upon foot.

Footbridge to Ungaisidar In 1992 this bridge was precarious; now in 2009, and clearly showing no signs of renovation, it was with some trepidation that we crossed it again in the pouring rain. The metal plate has rusted through in several places giving a view of the mud below.

No 1 Ungaisidar A one-time croft and subsequent holiday cottage this property now appears to be inhabited. However, the access by track seems no better with the final few hundred metres being by foot only.

Mill Ruins at Ungaisidar Where the stream runs down from west to east and into Little Loch Roag evidence of a water powered mill is present. I understand, from locals, that this was where local cereals were ground. No 1 Ungaisidar and the narrows on Little Loch Roag can be seen in the background.
