Highland time slip

Recently I reread the book Moidart and Morar (1950) by the artist and famous political figure Wendy Wood, one of the founders and highly active member of the then National Party of Scotland. On page 95 in the chapter ‘Kinlochmoidart to Glenuig’, she

mentions that when descending by foot from the pass to Glenuig: “Beside the first boundary wall at the head of the glen I saw a small house. I saw it then, and have seen it many times since, yet it is not really there! I do not know whether it is of the fashion of Things to Come, or of things so long past that no one to-day remembers them. When I mentioned it, I was told that there is a prophecy that some day there will be a stable for horses on that spot. Nothing is more unlikely; but we shall see, or perhaps we shan’t.” Does any reader know more about this?
