Scope and Content Cart shed, Kilchiaran Farm, Kilchiaran, Islay, Argyll & Bute The house and steading of Kilchiaran date from 1826 when a new farm with an Ayrshire tenant was established following the clearance of the old township of Kilchiaran. Its most distinctive feature is a semicircular inner cattle court about 58m in diameter. This is the cart shed range viewed from the south, showing the four open bays with their shallow segmental arches. This range also incorporated bothies and workshops with lofts reached by external staircases at the rear and east end. The granary was also on the first floor of this range. The farm is situated near Kilchiaran Bay on the west coast of Islay on that part of the island known as the Rhinns. To reach Islay you can take a ferry from Kennacraig in Kintyre to Port Ellen and Port Askaig, the latter being connected by ferry to the nearby island of Jura. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
