Field Visit (11 April 2013)
NH 31924 25394 A walkover survey was undertaken, on 11 April 2013, in advance of the proposed construction of a wind farm and associated access at Beinn Mhor. Four previously recorded features were visited, including a modern boathouse and a stone built, 6m high, memorial cross dedicated first to Lady Tweedmouth and later to Lord Tweedmouth. The cross stands on the highest point of the site and visually dominates the area. Two new features, an ephemeral shieling or turf structure and a very dilapidated timber boat house, were also recorded.
