Rodel Hotel, c.1785 Unusually tall laird's house standing gable endon to the dock, lower 19th-century extension at right angles. Scene of the dramatic climax of the Balranald Elopement of 1850 (see p.371); the island's most historic house has functioned as an inn, tacksman/factor's residence, shooting lodge and hotel (for more on its history, see p.371). Now 'restored' (2001), after decades of dereliction, it is back in operation as a hotel, albeit with great loss to its original character - a blandly anonymous modern interior behind newly harled walls of grey cement.
