Keil House, early 19th century House built for John Sinclair's son and formerly used as an inn. Smaller upstairs windows and the symmetrical arrangement of lower flanking offices returning forwards to a U-form plan denote a standard Georgian farmhouse of the locality, functional and plainly polite.

Project (23 January 2017 - 25 January 2017)
NM 67694 45473 A desk-based assessment, watching brief and walkover survey was carried out during the construction of new waste water treatment works at Lochaline. Three small pits with charcoal and possible iron slag were identified and excavated. A walkover survey was conducted of the surrounding area, including the route of a proposed new pipeline. Twelve sites associated with the post-medieval Knock Township were recorded, including the remains of several turf and stone structures and dykes. Many of these correlate with structures shown on the 1st Edition OS map.
