Activities

Field Visit (6 June 1995)

NG82NW 46 8135 2742

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.

Field Visit (May 1995 - June 1995)

Amongst deep heather and bracken, 40m to the north side of the Reraig to Balmacara path is a large sub rectangular enclosure. A dry-stone dyke 1m high and 2m wide at the base surrounds an area 50m long east-west by 30m wide north-south. Whenever possible, natural rock outcrops have been incorporated into the dyke. An opening through the dyke 2m wide lies at the north-east corner of the enclosure. The east end of this enclosure is marked on the 1 :25000 pathfinder OS map No 205.
