I wonder if the Ness is truly unique "At the end of January 1901 "A tremendous sea came over the banks which was the means of exposing a great lot of the old buildings below the brae and beautifully shows the under midden". The words of Mr William G.T. Watt in a letter to J.W. Cursiter who "visited the place and found the midden was about 100 feet long, 3 feet deep in the centre, tapering to each end and almost entirely composed of the bones of Bos (primogenius?), chiefly jaws and horn cores. In March 1903 high seas washed away the midden but revealed building below it built on the rock..." This at Skerrabrae
