Holly Tree Hotel, 1902-3, Formans & McCall engineers, to designs by James Miller or Robert Wemyss The former Kentallen Station, designed in the same Glasgow Style as Ballachulish Station, but with an attached two-storey dwelling/office block with a part-brick exterior. A branch line linked it to a substantial stone pier, connecting up with the steamer service. Now converted as a hotel and restaurant, the signal box has been replaced with a restaurant, the platform concealed as an internal corridor.
[A holly tree was planted to mark every mile along the Ballachulish branch railway. With its steamer pier alongside, Kentallen was an important, albeit short-lived, interchange for travellers between Argyll and Lochaber.]
