History

Ceannabeinne is said to have been a thriving "township" until the Highland Clearances of 1842, which resulted in rioting.[1] There were once fourteen houses in the village of Ceanabeinne, all of which are now ruined.[1] The only remaining building is the old school which is now a holiday home.[1]
