“Glencloy also contains some of the most significant and least understood archaeology on the island - Neolithic chambered cairns, prehistoric rock art, and a fort associated with Robert the Bruce. In 1975, the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland wrote to warn that significant features in the glen were about to be buried under sitka spruce plantations. A community-led archaeological survey is planned in partnership with Archaeology Scotland and other partners.”

Dùthchas Arainn community benefit society currently has 59 members and 3,200 shares have been issued since the offer launched on October 25, 2025.
