Steading (to Old Ardtornish House, see p.91), later 18th century; extended by James Ross, 1846, to form a quadrangle of ranges incorporating dressed stones from Ardtornish Castle and Morvern's only doocot. It has arched openings onto an inner cobbled court and an unusual narrow enclosure fronting the south elevation, probably added for sheep.
