On Tuesday, a procession was held which started at 22:00 and involved a mile-long walk to the ruined house where the dogs and their owners were met by a piper.
Thunderstorms did not materialise as forecast, but biting Highland midges were out in force.
The Night ended with a rendition of The Proclaimers ' song I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) and more bagpipe tunes.
Over A Number of years, the gatherings have taken place every five years and dates have fallen on milestone anniversaries, including.
The First litter of golden retrievers was born in 1868 to a Tweed water spaniel, a breed now extinct, and yellow wavy-coated retriever.
The Puppies were called Primrose, Cowslip and Crocus. Some histories of The Breed report The Litter having four pups.
