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.

Lying amongst scrub woodland at the rear of a small bay 300.0m to the south-west of Eilean an Strathaidh and set against the foot of a small north facing outcrop are the ruins of a bothy and boat noost. The bothy has rounded corners and measures 4.0m north to south by 2.75m east to west over walls 0.75m thick which still stand 0.75m high. A door opening lies in the centre of the east wall. A very ruinous structure, with an open end

facing the sea, is attached to the west side of the bothy.
