Archaeology Notes

NM55SW 6 5179 5400

Aros House, or Drumfin, designed for Hugh MacLean of Coll by William Burn in 1825, was demolished about 1960. The architect's drawings (in NMRS: AGD/6) show an extensive building in simple Tudor style, but only part of the design was carried out, and it is not clear how much of the structure recorded in early photographs owed to the alterations made by J M Wardrop in 1875.

RCAHMS 1980.

Remains of the associated jetty, sawmill and walled garden are still extant.

R Douglass 1988.
