Seeing this photo of the lodge from one of my 'Contacts' on Flickr (Contacts are like Facebook Friends or Twitter Followers) inspired me to learn more about the story of the lodge.
I checked what, if anything, I had previously written and discovered just a passing reference to the name itself being derived from the Norse for 'Horse Cliff' (It may also appear spelt as 'Horsaclett' or 'Horsaclete').
The next port of call was the RCAHMS which provided this Site Record from the Canmore section of their Search Resources . At this point I didn't look at the Public Contribution to that record.
However, I did find a comment at the British Listed Buildings site.
We are extremely fortunate to be able to access and contribute to these wonderful online resources and my aim in writing this is merely to highlight, & thereby encourage, such collaboration and cross-referencing.
Of course, we are also able to take a 'virtual walk' around the area thanks to Google Street View !
