Iain Thornber has provided an extract from his forthcoming publication on the lost houses of Lochaber:

"Home of Alastair Cameron MA (1896-1973), the well known author and local historian who wrote under the pen name of "North Argyll"."

The extract includes a photograph of a thatched cottage on the site c.1910. This has since been replaced by two other houses on the same site. Held offline, but copies can be provided for personal use on request. <2>
