A deserted settlement on the shore of Loch Eishort, Boreraig was cleared in the mid 1850s by wealthy landowners to make way for sheep farming. Most of the families from this village were transported to Australia to be re-homed although evidence suggests that most died of fever on the voyage.
All that remains today are the outlines of several houses and some walled enclosures. It's an interesting and sobering place to run past. The walls offer shelter if you need a break in bad weather or you're running the Skye Trail and need a camp spot.
