'In the loch of Yarrows [name: ND 309 439] there are two small islands, which seem to have been occupied by buildings, most probably of a defensive kind, but so much dilapidated that there is little chance of their character beint made out by excavation'.

J Anderson 1866.

The water-level of the loch of Yarrows has risen some 1.0 to 1.5m, and only the island remains, on which no traces of building can be seen from the shore.

Visited by OS (N K B) 11 May 1967.
