Limekilns Harbour
Limekilns. Turning around at the same spot where I took the photo looking eastwards, this interesting view looks westwards at the back of Limekilns in the direction of Limekilns Pier and possibly shows the route of the 1772 Elgin Waggonway. The unusual half arch in the building on the left might well indicate the waggonway's route and it has been partly blocked by the house on the right which was built in 1817 or at least the extension to it which was added later. The waggonway was closed from the start of 1810, with all traffic thereafter going to Charlestown along the branch which had been opened in 1799.
