Grulin Uachdrach is a depopulated settlement situated approximately 500 metres south-south-west of An Sgurr on the Isle of Eigg in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site represents evidence of former habitation on this Small Isles location, reflecting patterns of settlement and subsequent abandonment characteristic of the Hebridean landscape. The settlement's exact chronological range and archaeological characteristics remain documented within the Scottish heritage record, though the site exemplifies the broader phenomenon of depopulation affecting many Scottish island communities, particularly from the medieval period onwards.
