Scope and Content Building on the work of the Royal Commission, carried out by A 0 Curie in 1909 (RCAHMS 1911), the field staff of the Ordnance Survey established an extensive archaeological record for Kildonan during their remapping of the area in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The OS written record showed a bias towards the prehistoric material, but much of the medieval and later settlement had previously been depicted on the 1st edition of the Ordnance Survey 6-inch map (1879). At the outset of the present survey there was already, therefore, a relatively large number of sites known in the area, and fieldwork was directed towards visiting them and prospecting for unrecorded sites in the intervening gaps. All the 467 surviving structures were recorded on a Husky Hunter portable computer, and the database created in this way forms the primary survey-archive from which the 139 written descriptions of sites or landscapes have been produced.
