A walkover survey and desk-based assessment for the National Trust estate at Torridon was carried out by J Wordsworth and J Harden.
Inveralligin school and schoolhouse were built here at the turn of the century - it is first shown on the 1902 OS map. It became an outdoor centre for an Edinburgh school, but more recently has become a private house. <1>
