Riasg Buidhe

This is the main street of what was once a fishing hamlet abandoned in 1918 when the inhabitants were re-located at Glassard. The house with the gable end and the one in front had a slate roof the other further down the hill were all thatched

Gate posts at Riasg Buidhe

These have identical twins about 200 metres to the north with no visible signs of a track between them. If you are thinking of visiting here from Colonsay House the track soon runs out, carry on along the high ground eastward until you find two other ruined houses and then turn south and head for the gate posts. This skirts a large area of bog uncrossable after wet weather, Riasg Bhuide means Yellow Marsh. You have been warned.
