Full Description
NC45NE 22 473 587.
According to Mr Mayer, there is a 'stony island' in the area NC 473 587, some 40m to 50m off E shore of Loch Hope. it is occasionally visible when the loch level is at its lowest, but could not be seen at the time of investigation, and no boat was available. Mr Mayer (D Mayer, Hope Lodge, by Tongue) describes it as a pile of stones about 30m across. He knows of no causeway, but his description neverthless indicates a crannog.
