Looking northeast across upper Loch Chearabhaigh (a sea loch) towards the scattered township of Kilerivagh. According to local information from Mary Harman in 2018, the house is still there with the mid gable with chimney standing, but the roof is entirely gone. The windows are still clear, and the winnowing hole in the barn at the left hand side of the picture is still there. The telegraph pole behind the house, being redundant is no longer there. The building probably dates from the 19th century and is Category B listed [http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB18754]. It also appears on the Buildings at Risk Register [https://www.buildingsatrisk.org.uk/search/keyword/hacklet/event_id/898243/building_name/5-6-hacklet].
