The old clearance village of Olistadh
We took a group of Port Charlotte Primary P6 and P7 pupils up to the old clearance village of Olistadh this morning. It is about a mile from the Kilchiaran road and accessed along a forestry track. We had an interesting time imagining what it must have been like to live up there.
The village was probably abandoned as a settlement when Port Charlotte was built in 1829.
