Current quality (May 2022)

As well as containing no references, in the current written form there are a number of problems with the article. For example the settlement is referred to as a hamlet, village and town. Considering I spent the first 20 years of my life living in this area, I personally would question whether it is even a settlement? There are no formal signs marking an entry/exit as exists for other settlements in the council area. There are no services or public amenities (nor was their historically). What makes this settlement any different from others in The Rhins that are essentially fermtouns? More research and sources are needed to confirm what this place is, and isn't, and articulate to readers. 2A02:C7E:173E:4100:D025:43F6:9B3E:6CB6 (talk) 14:51, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
