Full Description

------
The ruins marked on the OS 1875 map are also on the 1807 Balmacara estate map (in Portree), named as Braentra. This is the original site of Braeintra village, now sited about half a mile away. The old site was cleared for a sheep farm in the early 19th century, and the new site is where the shepherds house was built. Two of the ruins, possibly three have been located, which are now in the forestry plantation. There are also the remains of old dykes associated with them.
