I have found Shore Farm on the 1895 map but can't see anything there on the present day 1:50000 map. It was just North of Firwood Bleach Works, North of Bradshaw Brook. It is around SD 736 111. I have zoomed into 1:10000 on the MAGIC map website and can't see any buildings. I can send an extract from the 1895 map if you can't find it. Martin Briscoe Fort William M&LFHS | Gwynedd FHS

No building visible at 1:3274. There is what looks like a pylon at SD 73653 411118, perhaps that showed on your map? I think the area has been cleared because now a golf course though the edge must be wooded because it is designated as a Community Forest (whatever that is?).
