A project to survey and record archaeological features at Inverlaidnan and Sluggan (originally named Inchluin) was undertaken by NOSAS members in 2018.
Site 2. Lade. This substantial lade (see photo Fig 4 p.33), associated with the mill (MHG26462) is approx. 650m in length and runs parallel to the Allt an Aonaich on its N bank. The lade is generally 0.7m deep and 2m in width at the east end but reduces in size further west. It is contained by a bank 2 to 3m in width x 2m height. No evidence of a sluice was seen at the west end. The lade is marked on the Roy map of c. 1750 and on estate plans of 1771 and 1808, also on the 1st edition of 1867-71. <1>
