Full Description
The Lochan Bain ferry appears on both RHP 2737, dated 1756, and the OS 1st edition map (1867), where a house and a wall around the croft is shown. The house is not shown on the OS 2nd edition map (1903).
The foundations of a house are visible on top of a flood bank alongside the march dyke, 50m from the river bank.
October 1998: the area has had a fence built though it and is presumably to be planted.
Willie McInnes, former tenant farmer at Dalfaber, aged 76, remembered crossing on the ferry aged about 4.
