House, Mount Ballan This splendid building gave no indication as to its purpose, and I couldn&#039;t find a name, but it&#039;s next door to Mount Ballen House (qv).

Fellow Geograph-er Kevin told me the following:
&quot;Looks like Little Ballan.
If so then it was used as a nursing home and in WW2, a Land Army Hostel.&quot; Thanks Kevin.
