Prettily perched on a high bank overlooking the loch and the top part of the river, a somewhat inaccessible dwelling easiest reached by a boat.  Just at Hope there is walking access to Whiten Head and Freisgill. There is no road or defined track but this remote area can be accessed by careful walking along the cliffs.

About a mile from Whiten Head Freisgill  stands close to the mouth of Loch Eriboll  in a desolate, lonely but beautiful spot. A ghost is said to reside in this bothy of the Mountain  Bothy Association. A shepherd called Nodaidh had a long and happy life there living alone after loosing his fiancée. His prize possession was a chanter gifted to him from his girl, Marie, before she died. His dogs arrived one day at Melness Farm and the manager returned with them to Freisgill to find Nodaidh in a very poorly state. The doctor was summoned from Tongue but all Nodaidh wanted was to be taken to his sister at Sango. He was taken by ferry and car and became weaker constantly calling in delirium for his chanter. He died without being reunited with his chanter. The next two shepherds living at the house have left after reporting eerie incidents about their dogs howling and visions of an old man playing a chanter and disappearing before their eyes. Freisgill now stands empty for most of the time but occasional accounts of dim lights and faint music are heard from fishermen

Sometime between 1757 and 1759 Robb Donn made a stand against the law of removing deer from Reay Forrest and was removed from his home to Freisgill on the Moine. The lonely house is now used a s mountain bothy.

Looking toward the peninsula of Whitten Head across the mouth of Loch Eriboll from Lerinbeg

The rocks here are greyish in colour giving the name Whiten Head or An Ceann Geal to the headland at the eastern entrance to Loch Eriboll. There are caves under the cliffs around Whiten Head where the Atlantic Grey Seals breed the only known breeding place on the mainland. The caves are only accessable by boat. An exploration of this wild rocky coastline, with views out to the Orkney Islands and several saltwater lochs is spectacular.

There are two quartzite stacks here separated by a deep channel and a long way offshore. The eastern stack is known as The Maiden and has a cave at its foot giving the appearance of legs. Tom Patey fell to his death whilst abseiling from the summit after the first ascent. The western stack doesn't have its own name. The stacks now have a fine complement of climbs with Waterfront Wall being an outstanding severe. They can be reached either by boat or a swim. If by boat then a three mile crossing of Loch Eriboll is needed to reach Whiten Head and the stacks. Low tide is best for landing at the channel between the stacks whilst high tide is better for landing on the landward side. The plinth beneath the stacks can be reached by an eleven kilometre walk, descending the steep headland and swimming just over a hundred yards. This makes for a demanding day out. East Pinnacle The eastern pinnacle gives an impression of overhanging rock and verticality. There are several routes on it.
