About Rosal Deserted Township
Rosal Deserted Township (from the Viking hrassa vall - horse fields) is the remains of a once thriving Highland village, which was cleared of its inhabitants to make way for sheep.
A series of interpretative panels on the trail around the village site help bring the village alive by describing the chores, toils and joys of daily life that once took place on this very spot. Try to imagine you can hear the voices of the past and absorb the atmosphere as you walk around the village.
How to get there:
Rosal Deserted Township can be started from Rosal Car Park in Naver (Rosal) Forest which is part of Sutherland. Bettyhill is the nearest town or village.
By road, travel south from Bettyhill on the B871 for approximately 10 miles, turn left over river at Syre and follow Forest Enterprise signs for Rosal.
