Glengorm Castle Tramway
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![A photograph of what I am pretty certain are the remains of a tramway used to haul the granite blocks quarried on the Ross of Mull up the hill to construct Glengorm Castle. The line would have continued behind the photographer up to a headshunt and then up to the castle site. Unfortunately the construction of the castle pre-dates the map edition so only a line of the track is shown. I haven't managed to find <br>
any reference to a tramway but there's a lot of granite in that castle!<br>
