Full Description

A parachute store was noted by ARCH's Evanton Wartime Remains project in 2013. The parachute store was listed on the RAF map of 1946 at c. NH 621 669, and was presumably destroyed when buildings were removed in the 1950s/1960s, or by the building of the A9. Another parachute store was recorded closer to the shore, near the current MacGas and site of the original airfield. <1>
