General View of the Clachan

The photograph above shows the back of the clachan looking towards Cushendun. In the photograph the houses in the clachan lie between the two modern two-storey houses shown on the right and left of the photograph. The land in front of the clachan is low and flat, being part of the flood plain of the river Glendun. Behind the houses in the clachan the land runs up to much higher and rougher ground where the mountain land is still held in common. Today the clachan contains six houses which have been extensively rebuilt, some on new sites. It forms part of a thriving community which includes more new houses built on the fringes of the clachan.

The photographs below show the buildings which make up the clachan area today.

If you find the Griffith's Valuation difficult to understand then you should read this. Unfortunately, the Griffith's maps are not always easy to read.
