Geàrraidh Fliuch is a pre-Clearnce township, cleared and demolished in around 1828 to use its land, and that of several other nearby settlements, for the use by sheep. The township’s land allocation, over 1,000 acres, ran coast to coast, from the Atlantic to Loch Skipport to the North of Beinn an Tairbeirt.
The complex ruins of this late mediaeval black house with various outbuildings and enclosures. The mdel is further complicated by a modern fenceline which tracks along te north edge of the srtuctures. This frncelie demarcates a pastoral coridor for moving livestock from the machair winter grazing to the summer pastres. The main settlement area can be found to the West of Ruabhal below Hew Lorimer’s Lady of the Isles statue and modern Uist’s main North-South road.
