Craignavar Deserted Township, Glen Almond

Comprising the stone ruins of at least 22 rectangular buildings and a corn-drying kiln with associated stone-walled enclosures and fields, Craignavar was deserted in around 1820. It's unknown whether it was part of the forced Highland Clearances or just a voluntary departure due to economic reasons.

@xylophilist I think when a whole village disappears like this we can reasonably exclude a purely economic explanation since it would not affect everybody equally.
There may even be court records of eviction notices; 1830 is not long ago. And there seems to be research on grain prices. researchportal.hw.ac.uk/en/pub

@xylophilist This is exquisite, and I love the use of overcast skies and blender to re-paint the landscape. Easily some of the more compelling post processing I've seen.

It's funny because I thought: cool! A fine artist doing photogrammetry. Then I read what you did and I thought: heck yeah, deeper cuts.

Any objection to me linking to this from community.opendronemap.org?
