Construction materials lying beside aerial installation

The aerial is in an enclosure behind the camera position close to the highest point of a moorland hill known to some hill-goers as Creachan Forc Airgiol, OS mapping however seems to apply that name to a different, nearby location. The road has reached the installation having left the B8000 some distance to the north.

Cripps' Road

This road was built by Harrison Cripps, an eminent London surgeon, to join Glendaruel House, which he bought in 1904, to Evanachan - the farm on the East shore of Loch Fynne, where his daughter lived.

The Gate of Glendaruel House

Glendaruel House was originally one of the Campbell residences in Argyll and was destroyed by fire in 1970. This was at one time the main gate and it is said to have been built to resemble the Residency Gate, Lucknow to commemorate the Relief of the Siege of Lucknow which had been led by General Sir Colin Campbell.
