A drill hall on Easdale Island is marked on the 2nd epoch 1:2500 map (surveyed 1898). It is a square, slate rubble structure with a high pyramidal roof, whose central post was a mast recovered from a wrecked ship. It is not clear which unit was using the hall in 1914, and which was using the other drill hall nearby: Osborne (2006) records the presence of "H" Squadron, 2nd Scottish Horse and "H" Company, 8th battalion Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders in the area.

The building survives but was completely refurbished in 2004.
