Arisaig House is situated on the W side of the Borrowdale Burn about 336m SW of Borrowdale House (NM68NE 3.00).
The House was requisitioned by the military during World War II as part of the Special Traing Centres in the NW of Scotland. The house was altered in 1940 to accommodate the Military Intelligence Wing of the Special Traing Centre at Lochailort (NM78SE 6 and NM78SE 15 ).
The House is visible on vertical air photographs taken in 1946 (CPE/UK/Scot/177, fraames 1373-1375, flown 7 October 1946), but there is no evidence for huts or military activity. In addition, RAF WW II vertical air photographs of the House and surrounding area (241H, frames A1-A3; B1-B3, flown 14 March 1941), also show no evidence of miltary activity.
