A good example of this is the parish of Cairnie.
It only has two hamlets, Cairnie and Ruthven,
neither of which has more than about a dozen
houses.  A pilot flying over the north east as a
tourist [!!] in the 1930s described the parish as
a "desert" with no identifiable features.

Key NJ490450 into any map site to see it.
