Full Description
Osborne (2006) states that this drill hall, in use from before the First World War until new premises were acquired in 1938, was a hut with timber cladding and render. The building has been demolished and two new houses occupy the site. In 1914 it was the base for "G" Squadron, Lovat Horse and "G" Company, 4th battalion Seaforth Highlanders.
