Full Description
Built of snecked rubble, the boathouse has a three-centred arch of slabbed voussoirs. It lacks a roof, but there are broken slates lying adjacent to it. Side doors provide access to the rear part of the building.
The boathouse stands at the top end of a deep bay, sheltered on the seaward side by a rocky outcrop. From the boathouse a quay of large boulders follows the rocky shore down to low water. A well-engineered track, partly obscured by a later launching apron, leads from the boathouse to the present road (built c.1860), and continues on the other side up to the site of Lochaline House (built between 1821 and 1825).
