Full Description

'The land of Kildonnan farm stretched right up the east coast of the island and in a very remote and beautiful position on a fertile terrace between the high cliffs of the moor and the sea cliff below are the ruins of a shieling (NM 496 889).' Hugh Miller describes the shieling in 1845 giving details of the interior of the shieling-hut.
Hugh Miller 1858; S W Martins 1995. (Bib no. 34747)
