Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish music, of abandoned cottages on ancestry visit to Crackaig on the Isle Of Mull. Once a thriving village, Crackaig is peppered with the eerie, crumbling remains of residential dwellings. Mull suffered massively during the Highland Clearances and Crackaig is certainly not alone in terms of visible remnants, however, it is among the largest and best preserved. Asides from many of its inhabitants being forcibly removed, Crackaig was also devastated by an outbreak of typhoid in the late 19th century. Those affected were contained within a single house in the community. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
