What is described as a monorail railway (by Kirkdale Archaeology) to carry men and material to the target area was built along the eastern side of the loch, for a distance of almost 7km. The monorail was supported on pairs of concrete pillars 2m apart, each pair standing 6m from the previous pair. Only a few of the pillars are now visible above the loch’s waters. The northern terminus lay at NS 4790 0174.
