of the distance to the parish school at Kilmore. Croft 11 was used for the school, and can still be seen today in the middle of the village with its rusty red tin roof. Free Church – the abandoned Free Church and Schoolhouse, which sits just outside the village, was paid for and built by the villagers of Tarskavaig around 1860. The old church sits on a small bay just outside the village. Tarskavaig Community Hall – was built on the hill overlooking the village on the site of the old Church of Scotland. Old Post Office and Shop – closed in 1975, but the building can still be seen on croft 14, next to the road. Tarskavaig Point – best sea views, old Free Church, Bull Croft. Last School - A new school with accommodation for 80 pupils was built in 1876, but it was located over the hill and closer to Tocavaig. The renovated schoolhouse sits in Gauscavaig bay, with a view of the remains of Dunscaith Castle, which was the principal seat of the MacDonald Clan in the 15th century. The Tarskavaig Moine Thrust SSSI is located in the adjacent crofting township of Achnacloich. References First Statistical Account of Sleat, 1791–99.
