Ceannamhor, anglicised as Kenmore, lies across Loch Seaforth from Maraig. After the people were evicted in the huge clearance of Pairc, a shepherd's house was built. As the use of the land deteriorated from sheep farming to deer forest, the building became a keeper's house. When I last visited, peeling newspaper, pasted and painted over on one of the walls, carried a report of the battle of Omduman.
The original village was quite extensive as can be seen from the extent on the ground of cultivation ridges
The picture shows Tob Tuath na Ceannamhora, a beautiful and seldom visited corner. I am not sure but the ruin could have been a mill.
