The path to Daingean In the 18th century there were at least six houses in the highland settlement of Daingean. As a result of various historical forces, the settlement was finally abandoned about 1930, but a trail has been established to the remains.

House under construction A large house under construction at the start of the road to Kinloch Hourn, just off the junction with the A87. The notice over the door of the shed reads &quot;Hotel Caledonia&quot;, but it is far from clear whether this is the name of a new business venture, or merely a reference to the &quot;Eagles&quot; tribute band!

Dense birch woods, Glen Garry A few years back I clambered down this hillside for a bit to get a first visit to a grid square for the site. I did not try again this time, the trees have grown a fair bit since. I have done my fair share (and lost a camera) bashing through dense birks in Norway.
