Scatwell Lodge kennels were recorded and photographed during a desk-based assessment and walkover survey carried out by Ross and Cromarty Archaeological Services in 2012, in advance of the construction of a hydro-electric scheme for Scatwell Lodge. The disused kennel comprised pale green wood cladding with a corrugated iron roof and an attached concrete and metal mesh fence to the east side. The building measures 4.0m NE-SW
by 2.7m and stands 2.0m high to the base of the roof. It was proposed to be demolished by the scheme to allow for construction of the powerhouse in a location designed to cause minimal impact to the landscape. <2>
