Ardintoul is situated on the S bank of Loch Alsh at the SW edge of Ardintoul Bay, within an enclosure of conifer trees. It is depicted as roofed on the 1st Edition of the OS 6-inch map (Ross and Cromarty, 1880, sheet sheet cxxvii). By the date of the 2nd edition (ibid, 1903-1904), the only changes were the addition of a 'boat house' at high water mark about 70m NE of the house and the disappearance of a small roofed building to the W.
