The beach at Ceannabeinne was once known as Traigh Alt Chailgeag, " The beach of the burn of bereavement and death " which tells the story of a lady who died after falling in the burn and was found on the beach. Sir Walter Scot, the famous novelist visited Ceannabeine in 1814. Highland Clearances was the forced eviction of inhabitants of the Highlands and western islands of Scotland, beginning in the middle to late 18th century and continuing intermittently into the middle of the 19th century.
