Not far off, Chris. Balnakeil was the domestic camp for an early 1950s
ROTOR radar - Early Warning of aircraft, not ballistic missiles - at Faraid
Head which lasted for barely five years (the site is now used for Garvie
Island range control!):

I didn't, Chris, but I shall today. The sun is out, the wind is down to
only around 10kts (it must have reached 50-60kts a couple of days ago) and
we plan to walk around the eastern bank of the Kyle of Durness, from
Keoldale to Durness and back down by road, passing the Balankeil Craft
Village (made out of an ex-BMEWS station, I think) on the way.
We shall see several beautiful little flowers, I expect.
