	On-line Digital Images	DP 151193	Dr Colin and Dr Paula Martin	Plan of the boathouse at the head of Loch Aline, on the estate of Achranich (later merged with Ardtornish). Note the landward-facing pedestrian door from which two steps led up into the private room in the south wing, a flight of stone steps led down to the boathouse floor, and there was also access to the raised timber loft floor. This reflects social distinctions among those using the boathouse. High-water and low-water quays permitted access at most states of the tide (surveyed 2000).		Item Level
