Forgotten Croft by lifeat60degrees

Forgotten Croft

This old croft house is about half a mile from us but is in the middle of nowhere. There is no obvious track to it - the one in the picture finishes where I'm standing and there is no historical road to be seen. If it has something to do with access it is more confusing as it heads to the sea. It must have been a tough existence on what I think is the croft of Golgo. The 1948 OS map has no track to it either.

Update: after researching some 1855 maps on the NLS site is appears that the building is there and there is a track which goes at 90 degrees right of the one in this shot. I will need to return sometime to see if there is any sign of the track.
Interesting image and narrative

@shepherdman I've been digging deeper into historical maps online at the NLS site. Appears there was a track there in 1855 but in a totally different direction to the one in the photo.

How interesting, thank you for sharing the information. Looks like a lonely place now, can’t imagine how lonely it was in the 1850’s!
