Remains of a stone fish trap (photographed in 2004)
These low rock walls were built across the entrances to small inlets or straits at several locations around Tiree. A pool would form on the rising tide and, as the sea receded, fish would become trapped there. This one is between Eilean nan Gobhar and Heanish Normal Location: Photograph Shelves: photographs – G100-199Current Location: normal location
