Full Description
This site is an old inn, known as Tigh Ost Lussa or Lussa Inn, and was still in use in the early 1900s. It was important in its day as it served travellers going to Kylerea and Kyleakin.
There are only a few of the original buildings to be seen as the road going to the airstrip was constructed over the top of some of the old buildings. <1>
It is depicted on the 1st edition OS Maps as 'Public House'. <2> <3>
