Old travel Blog photograph of a thatched cottage at Torbeg, Shiskine, Island of Arran, Scotland. Sitting further up the Shiskine Valley from the village of Blackwaterfoot, the village takes its name from a corruption of the Gaelic for marshy place. Much of the area was essentially a swamp years ago, but now comprises farm land. There is also an ancient stone circle close by to the village, purportedly of Pictish origin. Shiskine is close to the peaks of Ben Nuis and Ben Bharrain.
