Puck's Hut by Sir Robert Lorimer, 1928, was moved from its original location, Puck's Glen on the east side of Strath Eachaig, in 1968. It was a memorial to Sir Isaac Bayley Balfour, Regius Keeper of the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. (Ref. Walker, Frank Arneil, 2000, The Buildings of Scotland, Argyll and Bute, P.146)
