Glen Lodge, c.1876, one of three sturdy keepers' cottages built to guard the deer fence gates, with later gabled porch. The POW's road affords access from here to the small settlement of Fearns, from where a mossy track leads to the haunting 'grass-grown ruined homes' of Hallaig, cleared by Rainy in 1854. Sorley Maclean's haunting elegy to the ghosts of this now silent village is one of the most important Gaelic poems of the 20th century.
