Traditional highland dwelling at Baile Gean a reconstructed township within the Highland Folk Museum Newtonmore Scotland UK

---

The inhabitants of Easter Raitts were essentially living as a community of rural tenants in a settlement of timber ‘cruck’ frame buildings with principally earthen walls built onto low stone foundations and thatched roofs. The principal Township settlement dates from medieval times to the early 1800s. By then town of Kingussie, founded circa 1795, was well developed and the work and opportunities it created undoubtedly contributed to the economic ‘Clearance’ of the township.
