When the croft was being worked, the land would have been drained into the small burn which flows out onto Skinnet beach. The presence of rushes suggests that the drains have been neglected and as a result the land has become much wetter. The sign on the gate beside the path to the beach is pretty meaningless. It was written either by someone who wasn't clued up on Scottish access legislation or who was hoping that the visitors weren't!
