Moine House and Ben Loyal captured on a moody day that added atmosphere to an already somewhat bleak and remote landscape. Moine House is situated on the edge of a large peat bog, known as Moine, the Gaelic for peat or moss, lying West of Tongue between Sutherland and Caithness in an area know as 'Flow Country'. This wild and inhospitable area was a difficult and dangerous place for travellers until the Duke of Sutherland built a road in the 1830s and Moine House was situated half way along it as a resting place for weary travellers. In the late 19th century it became home to a forester and and his family of eight children and grandchildren.
The old road is situated on the far side of the fenced area although the new road, the A838 is behind me and access can be gained off this road where there is a small car park
As you can see Moire House has not been lived in for a long time and it no longer has a roof but some conservation work has been done to preserve the shell of the building.
Although not traditionall pretty there is something strangely compelling about standing in this wild and lonely place with the threatening clouds above.
I have added a song called 'Traveller' by Chris Stapleton

Probably best viewed large. Many thanks
