Hut Circles

A dammed river, plantations, sheep pasture, bare hillsides—it could be almost any Scottish glen. But beneath this familiar landscape lie hidden stories. The remains of abandoned buildings hint at lost settlements, while close to this spot is a memorial cairn for Robert Campbell (1808–1894), a native of the glen and a notable explorer of the Arctic regions of Canada. His life spanned a time when sweeping changes forced many to seek opportunity far beyond their home—a pattern that continues today, as economic pressures and limited prospects still drive people from the land.
