Boreraig
Boreraig, lying in a green and fertile glen, sheltered and south-facing,[1] is an of a traditional, pre-crofting baile or township.[2] The Scottish census reveals that, by 1851, in the parish of Strath, Shire of Inverness, approximately one hundred and twenty men, women and children lived in Boreraig's 22 households.Anglicised death records indicate a good number of the inhabitants had maternal or paternal forebears born with the surname MacInnes.By 1853, the HIES had accepted at least eight of Boreraig's 22 households, or just under half the occupants of the cleared village, for sponsored resettlement.Boreraig cannot be reached by any vehicular transport at all, thus making winter feed supplementation impossible, but the township has some of the most fertile grassland in Strath Swordale so the sheep remain in reasonable condition.
