Description

The Moine is a vast area of heather moor and peat moss which from ancient times has been a deterrent to transport and trade. Travelling from Loch Eriboll, one had to cross 14 miles of this morass, then make the choice of risking life on the ferry across the Kyle, or slogging another 9 miles overland via Kinloch to reach Tongue Village. The first good road across The Moine was built in 1830, and Moine House was erected as a half-way stop.
