About half a mile before Gualin House, under the cover of Farrmheall, is a well at the roadside. It incorporates an iron trough with a plaque which reads
“1883. As a mark of gratitude and respect to the inhabitants of Durness and Eddrachillis for their hospitality while projecting this road. This inscription is placed over this well by their humble servant, Peter Lawson, surveyor.”
Opposite the well there is a remote house at Rhigolter where a shepherd, working for Balnakeil Farm, and his family live nestled in the shadow of Beinn Spionnaidh.
