Ceann Loch Trollamaraig

I don't suppose that this counts as a deserted village, but it is the next thing to it. Another son of Fionnlagh Og Campbell, by the name of Donald, left Molinginish and set up home at the head of Loch Trollamaraig, probably about the late1820's. The ruins of his house can be seen above the shore there, to the south of the bridge and below the last bend in the track from Urgha. There is not much left of the house as I think most of the stones were taken to build a nearby fank and perhaps some were incorporated in the track. On the hill side above, there are many old feannagan - cultivation ridges where he would have grown potatoes and oats. I believe he left after just a few years and moved to Scarista in south west Harris, then to Finsbay in the Bays of Harris where his descendants still live. He died a young man in about 1845.
