These buildings have seen better days and by the quality of the grass outside them I feel they are seldom used

Barns in a field

The larger of the two buildings is the right shape and size to have at one time have been a dwelling, though it looks like it has never had a chimney.

Old farm buildings by Allanglach

These buildings suggest to me that the surrounding field was once a stand alone croft. It seems to have been assumed into a larger holding with the result that the buildings have been neglected.

Small Black Isle hill, now clothed in birchwoods. As usual in the Inverness area there are some new houses here. The summit is clear of trees, and buried in gorse.

Beauly Firth and A9

Taken near Coldwells, this picture shows the Beauly Firth on the left and the A9 on the right. The Black Isle was changed forever in 1982 when the Kessock Bridge NH6647 : Kessock Bridge was built and cut the journey from the Black Isle to Inverness. Previously, travellers would either have to skirt the far end of the Beauly Firth or take the Kessock Ferry.
