Full Description
There is a small apparently artificial island in Loch Dhughaill at NG 9929 4665 (see MHG7947) and a similar one at NG 9845 4622 where river Carron flows out of S end of the loch. It is however doubtful if either of these islands is the 'crannog' described by Blundell which is only visible "when the water is very low". No local information was forthcoming regarding the site.
