Ceannabeinne (gaelic for the end of the mountains) is a ruined village within the parish of Durness, in the county of Sutherland, in the far north of the Highlands of Scotland.[1]

Amongst the ruins of Ceannabeinne there are the remains of what is thought to be a Monastic settlement, possibly dating from early medieval times.[2] Also charcoal remains have been dated to 370-100 BC by Radiocarbon dating, which suggest an Iron Age fort.[2]
