There is no trace of an island in Loch Buidhe; there is a dam at the E end of the loch which has raised the level between 1.0m and 2.0m. Air photograph (Visible on RAF air photographs 106G/Scot/UK 166: 3156; flown 23 August 1946) shows an amorphous submerged feature at NH 6689 9831, significantly at a change of direction in the parish boundary. This may be the island to which Blundell refers.
