Architecture Notes

The remains of a disused salmon fishing station situated on the S bank of the mouth of the River Lealt, near to the ruins of a dam. Surviving component parts included two hand winches, net-drying poles, a rubble-built bothy (asphalt-covered hipped roof mostly collapsed at time of survey) and a store with a corrugated iron roof.
