Powder Magazine, Gairlochy
Said to have been built for the construction of the Invergarry and Fort Augustus Railway line. Appears on the 2ns Edition OS Map but not the 1st Edition so that would fit with being for the railway rather than the canal construction.

OVERVIEW
Indpro made PTS system is an efficient, reliable method of transferring and dispensing bulk powders or bulk granules .
This system is a significant enhancement to any conventional, mechanical or pneumatic material conveying process and provides total dust free means of material transfer .
More Details:
Biggest advantage over conventional systems is the charging of different vessels
Capable to safely transfer toxic < 1µg/m³ or dust explosive powders < 1mJ
It empties or fills all process equipment; for example – Blenders, Reactors, Dryers etc.
Transfers all kind of powders (sticky, fine, non-free flowing, hygroscopic, humid etc)
Compact design and modular construction
This system facilitates reduction in batch time & total process integration
Use of TCN end connection wherever feasible for ease of assembly
Powder can be transferred to Reactor / vessel without the need to open it, hence keeping it isolated from atmosphere
Powder can be charged into reactor under pressure / vacuum or with solvent present into the vessel
Can be used to transfer wide range of materials with different properties
Total discharge without wastage
Absence of oil or grease usage avoids material contamination
Dust free system due to operation on vacuum principle
Vessels under vacuum or pressure can be charged
Enhanced productivity with inbuilt safety and hygiene are highlights of this system
Easy to clean – CIP system
Hygienic sterile units (optional)
The orange rocket-like thing is the powder tube (5 pounds, in this case) that is blown up to do the seismic readings. The charge is the yellow thing at the top. The bag is 50 pounds of bentonite, which is used (along with the plastic things) are used to cap the hole.

The room. It is a double queen room. The one bed feels like it's in the closet. The bathroom door can barely be seen between the beds.
