Scope and Content Ice house, Gollachy, near Port Gordon, Banffshire (Moray council area) This is a very unusual ice house, being free-standing, rather than built into a bank, and with a piended roof, rather than gabled. Like other structures of the type, however, it was built to store ice for packing salmon caught locally. This view shows the building from the south east. As can be seen, at first glance it looks like a small cottage, but it is windowless. The turf on the roof covers a vault, to reduce heat loss. This ice house served a beach salmon fishing station which has now been abandoned. The building has, however, been preserved by Moray Council. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
