Ruined building near Cleiteadh Buidhe The remains of a building beside the shore. The builders took advantage of the natural upright position of an igneous dyke. Concrete was added to the natural 'wall' to make some kind of storage building. The old rusty farm equipment may once have been kept inside.

Torrylin Chambered Cairn - Isle of Arran Torrylin Chambered Cairn is situated beside Torrylinn Water just south of the hamlet of Lagg.

The cairn has been interfered with by stone robbing and later dumping of field stones and its original shape and size are uncertain. The chamber is 6.7 metres long by about 1.2 metres wide with each compartment about 1.4 metres long. Torrylin Cairn is of a type found across south-west Scotland known as a Clyde cairn, of which a better preserved example can be found at Carn Ban, about 3 miles to the northeast. The tomb would probably have had a crescent-shaped forecourt, framed by a façade of slender upright stones.

Antiquarian excavations in the 19th century uncovered an elongated burial chamber, divided into four compartments. Only the innermost compartment was intact. It contained the remains of six adults, a child and an infant. Beside them lay a flint tool and a fragment of pottery.
