Lane to Upper Ardnagrask
In Gaelic Ardnagrask translates to 'Height of the Crossings'. In his book 'Place-names of Ross & Cromarty' p109 Watson tells us that the crossings referred to a system of land allocation called cross-rigs. This was to ensure that each crofter got some good and some not-so-good land to work.

Cleared forest, by Upper Ardnagrask
This area is marked on the map as a forest, named "Birch Wood". It looks like it has been cleared fairly recently, leaving a few dead trees still standing.
There is now a good view towards the outskirts of Muir of Ord. The large white building to the left is part of the Glen Ord Distillery, with the Cromarty Firth just visible beyond it.

Burial ground, by Upper Ardnagrask
A small burial ground, hidden amongst the trees. It is surrounded by a wooden fence, which is falling down in places.
It appears the gravestones are mostly for the family of Lt Col A. Douglas-Hamilton and Colonel Alexander F. Mackenzie. There is also a gravestone outside of the fence for Jock, a "faithful friend", presumably a dog.

In Birch Wood
Much of this woodland has been felled, although a tiny graveyard is still concealed by trees just a few paces from where I was standing.

Farmland
Much of this grid is farmland on the outskirts of Muir of Ord, Ben Wyvis, in the background, is shrouded by cloud on this cold spring day.
