The clachan on North Rona consisted of five households with associated 'lazy-beds' – cultivation strips made by sandwiching layers of turf. North Rona was evacuated, but in the 1930s it was the subject of a prolonged visit, and subsequent books, by the naturalist Frank Fraser Darling. It is now a national nature reserve.
