Port Quin and the fields beyond. The fishing village of Port Quin was abandoned sometime in the late 19th century and local legends tell of the day the men went fishing against advise and tradition (possibly on a Sunday) and were swept away by a huge storm. The truth is probably that the herring and pilchard fishing on which the village depended slowly declined in the latter half of the 19th century and at the same time small local mines closed down and the people slowly moved away or emigrated.
Doyden and Kellan. Looking north to Doyden Castle and Doyden Point. Beyond the inlet of Port Quin is Kellan Head.
