Scope and Content In the foreground just beyond the forest clearing is a memorial stone marking where Colin Campbell, the Red Fox, was shot in 1752. RL Stevenson's book Kidnapped is loosely based on this event. Raised beaches on either side of the Ballachulish narrows with prehistoric remains (cairns, a crannog site and possible "flint factory"), ruined church and burial ground on Eilean Munde in Loch Leven, slate quarries at Ballachulish (just out of picture) and Kinlochleven, an industrial village established in the early 1900s around an aluminium smelter. The Ballachulish Bridge replaced the car ferry in 1975. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
