Ruined croft walls and crofts with Loch Eishort and Sleat Peninsula beyond. Boreraig, Isle of Skye, Scotland, UK. The ancient crofting settlements of Boreraig and Suisnish on the Isle of Skye now lie deserted. The crofters were forcibly evicted during the clearances between 1852 and 1854 and sent overseas. A walk through these ruins provides a poignant reminder of recent Scottish history.
