Statement of Interest

Very unusual building for 1851. Byre in ground floor follows

practice of large estates in Lochaber of combining byre and

barn (as Drumnatorran, 1828, Strontian, Ardnamurchan and also Glencrispesdale, Morvern, c. 1878).

Former lean-to wing across N. elevation now demolished.
