Balnakeil Craft village, Durness
This collection of low level buildings were built in the early 1950's to  support  the planned ROTOR radar station being built nearby at Faraid Head.  Even before work had started here the ROTOR system was obsolete and the site never became active.  The site was sold by the MOD in 1964 to the council and  is in use today as a craft village.
