NOTE: RE the last comment by RCHAMS (AKK) - No, the original description actually fits a farmstead on the northeast side of the loch closer to (though still some distance from) the original grid reference perfectly. Though there are features at the grid reference given by AKK, there is nothing that fits the description. GIS spatial data amended accordingly to the site on the notheast side of the loch [IS-L 04/12/2023].
