Found this link to an interesting document on the Highland Council?s website, which contains good contemporary photos of existing buildings and a good period site map:

Paul,
Well I've certainly not seen them before.
Excellent research and thanks for posting them.

In the first links it states that: This project was undertaken in advance of an imminent planning application by Marine Harvest (Scotland) Ltd to build a new Salmon Smolt Recirculation Unit on the site.
Does this mean that all the buildings and other things that are still there as a reminder of the STC, are to be demolished? That would be a shame! Perhaps they can keep some of them? And if not, than Marine Harvest (Scotland) Ltd could (or should?) be persuaded to restore Inverailort House (the Big House) as some sort of compensation. I gather that they (will) make enough money with the things they do, so they can make a huge donation for a restoration. When the house falls to bits than everything is lost on the location where IT all started!

Most of the old brick buildings have gone but there are one perhaps two further South across the field. Also some of the more modern looking buildings used by Marine Harvest are actually wartime ones.
