Part of Britain's Radar cover, this Chain Home Low Radar station is situated at the summit of Beinn Hough and on the NW slopes to the N of Loch Earblaig. The site was not visited by Mr Guy, however, two buildings (NL94NW 8.02) are depicted on the current OS 1:10000 map (1976) at NL 9435 4648 and NL 9452 4643, both of which are visible on vertical air photographs (RAF 106G/Scot/UK 34, 3398-3400, flown 26 April 1946. These are possibly the Transmitter(Tx) and Receiver blocks(Rx), with the building at NL 9444 4294 being the remote reserve. Between the two groups of buildings, the vertical air photographs show a series of masts, three of which were still standing in 1946. A further group of buildings and structures visible on the 1946 images are situated on the summit of Beinn Hough. (Information from RCAHMS {DE}, May 2001)
