A00104B Poulouriscraig by Ardmore Point

Photographed here is a close up of the dramatic sea cliff formations that lie along the far north coast of the Scottish mainland. This location is over 30 miles west of Thurso, not far from the settlement of Armadale. The towering cliffs are perfect for nesting sea birds with breathtaking scenery for those who venture along the coast. In the top right of the picture is the abandoned township of Poulouriscraig, what is left of several dwellings. The people who inhabited them were cleared from the lands of Strathnaver by the owner and settled here virtually on the edge of cliffs. Somehow these highlanders survived until the site was completely abandoned by the second world war.
