Uploader's Comments

More or less straight ahead on the hillside, Uladail was first recorded in 1390, though the earliest record of any inhabitants is in 1716. By 1841 the population consisted only of two women occupying a single house; by 1851 Uladail had been abandoned completely. The remains comprises of at least 16 houses and outbuildings which are accompanied by a corn-drying kiln. In 2003 the Secretary of State for Scotland designated the area of the Uladail oakwoods as a candidate Special Area of Conservation.
