Our property was reconstructed on the historic site of an old Blacksmiths workshop dating back to the 15th century when claymore swords were reputedly made on site. Within 100 yards is the pier where 3,000 folks a week were shipped out to the Americas and Australasia at the height of the Clearances with many local folks ending up working for the Hudson Bay Company.
