NG 780 300 (centre) In the springs of 1995 and 1996 a field survey was carried out on the NTS Balmacara Estate. The estate covers approximately 22.5km2 of the Lochalsh peninsula. It lies largely within the points of a triangle formed by Kyle in the SW, Plockton in the N and Balmacara in the SE. The range of topographic variation found within the estate largely reflects that found on the W coast of Scotland generally. The range of sites found during the survey reflects this topographic variation.

During two seasons of survey 109 new sites were recorded. A full report is lodged with the NMRS.

By the North-east side of the minor road from Balmacara to Duirinish, under the trees at the south-east end of the picnic area called Horse Park, is a 4.0m length of massive boulder wall. This wall measures l.5m wide at the base and stands 1.5m high and runs on a north-west to south-east alignment. The north-west end disappears under the present road, while the south-east end stops abruptly in a vertical face. About 10m south-east of this butt end the wall again becomes obvious continuing on the same line.
