Brae of Crombie
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 22 Jun 2007
The 1871 Ordnance Survey map of 1871 shows numerous crofts on the land named Mains of Crombie, and according to the 1:25,000 map this is one of two named Brae of Crombie. This is one of few left standing, but it too has been abandoned. The effect of the haar (sea-fret) contrasted with the sunshine on the buildings is quite eerie.
