In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Clashnessie like this:
Clashnessie, a bay and a hamlet in the NW of Assynt parish, SW Sutherland. The bay enters between the Point of Stoer and Oldany island; lies exposed to NW winds; and, excepting over a small space at its head, is properly no more than part of the Minch. The hamlet lies at the bay's head, 21/8. miles NNE of Stoer.
Clashnessie is now part of HIGHLAND Council. Click here for graphs and data of how HIGHLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Clashnessie itself, go to Statistics.
