NR99SW 5 9099 9069.
NR 910 906. A possible crannog in the form of massive timbers suggesting a stockade (and seeming to be too heavy to be the remains of a boat) are visible under the water near the NE corner of Loch Loran.
M Campbell and M Sandeman 1964
Miss M Campbell (Kilberry Castle) states that timbers were seen at NR 9099 9069 when the loch was at a very low level.
