Horsacleit The artificially enhanced loch in front of Horsacleit was designed as part of the Horsacleit fishery. The lodge itself was probably erected around the 1890s to house fishermen who came to flyfish on this loch and the associated river system.

The end of the Miabhag road The old road to Miabhag ends here. Although the current road and the line of this old road both are shown on the 25k map, neither appears on the 1940s OS. This must have been a relatively short-lived road.
