Description
Single storey shed detatched from the main lime kiln complex, with high pitched gable and segmenatal arch. Roofless.
This large single-draw limekiln was built for the Duke of Argyll to supply burnt lime both for building works on his estate, and for improving the soil on his farms. This kiln must have used coal imported from Campbeltown or Ayrshire, by sea, as there is no coal in the neighbourhood of Inveraray. (RCAHMS)
