Skye isn't somewhere you expect to see much industry, but in 1899 the Skye Diatomite Company was a hive of industry in the buildings below. Diatomite is a clay substance that was used for many things including the production of Dynamite. It was mined at nearby Loch Cuither, the ruins below are the drying shed where the Diatomite was prepared before being taken away by boat. Map location.
