Shooting Box And Bothy, Loch Ashlaich

The Shooting Box and Bothy at Loch Ashlaich date from around 1855. The Shooting Box is a single-storey, timber-framed structure located on an island site, measuring approximately 4.5 meters by 20 meters. Its interior is lined with timber and insulated with heather, while the roof is made of corrugated iron over a tarred shingle style timber. The main façade is symmetrical, featuring four doors, each flanked by timber, two-leaf shuttered windows that lead into separate rooms. The building has two ridge stacks and blank end gables. Inside, the ceilings are coombed with varnished boarding, and there are plain, painted stone chimneypieces with shallow, hood-like canopies.

The Bothy is also a single-storey structure with a gabled roof, located on the shore. It has a rectangular plan, with a door and a shuttered window on the main elevation, as well as a shuttered window on the gable end.
