This link to bing maps should display a 1:25 000 OS Map centred on this particular building, the details of which may be read here whilst two old monochrome photographs showing the building and its context are here . The Google Streetview showing its current condition is here .
I am interested in discovering what uses this building, Rodel House and the Fishing Station (sometimes referred to as the 'Factor's House') were originally designed to perform. There are clues in the various contemporary accounts but they are lacking in sufficient detail to be able to say with certainty which housed the water-driven Mill, where the Net Factory was, or where the children learning to read and write were located.
Hopefully someone will spot something (either in the accounts, or perhaps from the images and maps) that will enable us one day to say with more certainty what these three listed structures were intended to be used for.
I certainly hope so!
Note:
The Mill at An-t-Ob, which appears to have fared better than its predecessor at Rodel, features in Harris Millers & Mrs Campbell's Mill at An-t-Ob .
Or was that, after all, where Macleod's Mill originally was and did Mrs Campbell merely re-build it as seen here ?
