Bourblaige Cleared Village

The settlement of Bourblaige is one of the best preserved cleared settlements on the Ardnamurchan peninsula. The settlement is located on the south-east flank of Ben Hiant, between Camus nan geall and Maclean's Nose.

The village consists of approximately 36 unroofed buildings of drystone construction (dwelling houses, barns, byres), with the remaining walls between 1 and 2 metres high, scattered across an area of 400m x 300m. There are also two enclosures, a field system and a head dyke. The buildings are mostly oblong with rounded corners, with the largest building measuring 12m by 6m.

The village can be accesed by a walk along a track off the B007 just west of Camus nan Geall, though once off the track the walk is mainly across rough uneven damp grassland with boggy areas.
