Summary
| Description |
English: Farm of Kensary Kensary is an isolated hill farm on reclaimed moorland in the Caithness Peatlands.
The '-ary' component of the placename indicates that the location was used for summer grazing before the farm was established. It appears as 'Hensery' on Sir John Sinclair's map of 1812, but as Kensary on John Thomson's 1822 map. By 1907 the farm was equipped with a water-powered threshing mill, the water being led from a Dubh Lochan above the farm. A further parcel of moorland was reclaimed in the 1960s but by the late 1970s the farmhouse was no longer occupied. Grazing still takes place there. The sycamore trees were planted by the last occupant of Kensary, Mr William Gunn. |
