Gearraidh Mhurchaidh A well restored cottage that may be accessed by a minor path from Rhenigidale or by boat to a small pier far below the cottage. A "railway"connects the pier to the lawn beside the house allowing supplies to be easily taken up to the house.

The fields at Nostar I gather that no one has lived at Nostar for a very long time but the fields were worked by a crofter until recently. Nostar is an area of green thanks to grass and bog-loving plants.
