Wonder if what is left of house is ever visible in dry spells when loch level drops.
It appears that although the water level has risen the cottage is still accessible.
Not sure if you looked at all the other pics (down right hand side of earlier link I gave you)?
Different views of the cottage;

up until around the 1940s (Dagg, 2005) by a shepherd and his family. Indeed, as an example, the
1891 census records that one Murdo MacLennan, shepherd, lived there with his wife, four
daughters, and a general servant, and another shepherd, William McKenzie was boarding there
too."
From clamaclennan website, can't access full details as it's a fee paying site....
