Lairg, This is a small Sutherland village, it is at the southern tip of Loch Shin, 16 miles long it acts as a junction of five roads and has a railway station.
Evidence of a long history of continuous habitation is seen at Auchinduich, south of Lairg, where one of the largest chambered cairns found in Scotland was once excavated. Some miles to the east, through Strath Fleet, is Rogart, a scattered crofting community that boasts the memorial to Sir John Alexander Macdonald (1815-91), the first Prime Minister of Canada, whose family originated in the area. |
