Kildonan Farm, recorded during the course of a pre-afforestation survey undertaken by J Wordsworth, is situated NW of the main township of Kildonan, on the NE banks of Loch Broom and consists of a number of buildings and features. The former farmhouse is still inhabited and lies within a deer proof enclosure on the boundaries of a larger enclosure marked on the current Ordnance Survey map. Two roofless buildings, one of which was shown roofed on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross and Cromarty 1905, sheet xxi), lie situated to the SW of the farmhouse at NH 0765 9110. A third unroofed building is situated on the shore below the raised beach at NH 0740 9117. Run rig or lazy bed cultivation lies up to 90m W of the building and up to 250m E of it. Another feature consisting of large boulders with a dump of very small stones is situated to the E of the farmhouse at NH 0776 9106, although it is unclear whether this is a modern feature or the remains of an earlier building. A drystone sheepfank at NH 0775 9115 is shown on the current edition of the OS map (1968).
