Description
By the time Thomas Pennant visited the island in 1770, the island was given over to croft style farming, and he describes 'a fertile plain... well cultivated... productive of everything the mainland offers'. The evidence for this reconstruction comes mainly from written accounts, including Pennant's, and a contemporary map illustrating the layout of farms and field boundaries. Chris Arnold's comprehensive recording of the field boundaries on the island, including the different materials and construction techniques used across the island, also proved invaluable.
One structure featured in this animation that visitors to the island today should recognise is the limekiln which stands alongside the road from Ty Pelaf.
