The name Ault-a-chrinn does not appear on the 1st edition 1874 OS map, although it is used in the 1861 census. Roy's survey of around 1750 does not record a township here and it seems that this may be a settlement that developed during the 19th century following the displacement of cottars and crofters when sheep farming was introduced.
