Lime kilns, Ard Neackie
On the left you can see 4 disused line kilns, built around 1870.  The quarry was behind the kilns, the lime was transported from here by ship.  Lime was used as a neutralising agent, when reclaiming peaty soils for cultivation.  [url=http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=244633&Y=959590&A=Y&Z=115/] Map location. [/url]
