Former icehouse at Fascadale Fascadale was a salmon fishing station and ice was collected during the winter and stored in the icehouse. During the salmon netting season, February to August, the salmon were packed with ice for the journey to southern markets. The icehouse has the characteristic rounded roof which would have been covered with growing turf.

Building at Fascadale We didn't look inside, so I don't know what this building was used for. I'm guessing storage of fishing/boating equipment.

Shore near Achateny Saltmarsh above high tide mark, and rocks colonised by channel wrack just below high tide mark. The hills are part of the exterior of the 'great eucrite'.

Rocky Foreshore at Port Bàn Port Bàn means 'white port' or 'pale port' and presumably takes its name from pale sand. It is protected from the north-east by this wave-cut platform of rocks of the Achateny Breccia. In the background are hills which are part of the outer 'great eucrite'.

Rocky Foreshore The only land in this square is a few tens of square metres of mostly intertidal rocks. They are part of the interesting-looking Achateny Breccia, but no matter how interesting, a rising tide is not the time to examine them!

Intertidal Rocks This corner of the square contains just a small area of rocks which are mostly below water at high tide. They belong to the Achateny Breccia, and a quick glance suggested that there might be interesting things to see. The tide, however, was rising, so a hasty retreat was called for as soon as this photograph was in the bag.

Fascadale Bay There were cattle grazing on the beach. All the houses at Fascadale are now holiday homes owned by Ardnamurchan Estates and all were occupied this Easter weekend. Eigg in the distance.

Previously worked ground, Fascadale There is evidence of lazy beds here. This hill gives easy walking on mainly short grass.

The eastern view of Lochan Dubh Frankly, the lochan was a bit of a disappointment. After a prolonged dry spell, it was little more than a boggy marsh; no doubt it's a bit more like a proper lochan in normal West Highland weather.

The Lochan Dubh A slightly wider view of the area around the Lochan Dubh than <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/825783">NM4870 : The eastern view of Lochan Dubh</a>. It's still pretty dried-out. The path shown on the map comes through the gap in the hills immediately above the bike, and its line is marked across rather featureless terrain by intermittent wooden posts such as the one used as a prop here.

Ford over the Allt Fascadale The hillpath crosses the burn on these stones; easy going when the water level is low, it might be a bit more interesting during a spate.
