On the left is the Killiekronan campsite. In the middle of the picture is the river bed still marked as the course of the river on the OS map. A few years age the river broke through a shingle bank in a storm making a shorter route into Loch na Keal. The new position of the River can be seen on the extreme right

River Ba, Loch na Keal

The outflow of the River Ba into the loch has completely changed since the OS Map was drawn. The river no longer flows north in a big loop before discharging into the loch but takes a more direct route. A significant slice of a field belonging to Killiechronan Farm has disappeared in the process. The farm can be seen in the distance.

The OS 1:25000 map shows the river flowing north west at this point but it is now taking a more direct linne to the loch. Leaving an elongated muddy pool at the MHWS mark.
