Ardfin Boathouse A recent shot of the Ardfin Boathouse, scene of the K Foundation's notorious burning of a million pounds in 1994. The building is now being restored and adapted to be a refreshment stop on a new 18-hole golf course which is under construction on the Ardfin Estate. The course is due to open in 2017.
