    Lismore is a rare outcrop of limestone in the geology of the West Coast of Scotland. Early on in the 19th century the stone was quarried and being burned in limekilns and shipped out for agricultural lime and building mortar. The remnants of a limekiln and associated works are visible here. Lime was being worked here from 1826 up until the 1930s.

    Here you'll find the ruins of the village of Port a’ Charrain, once a thriving community on the Isle of Lismore. The village is thought to have had 40 inhabitants in 1841, which then declined to 28 in 1861, and has dissipated since.
