Scope and Content Workers' housing at Bonawe Ironworks, Taynuilt, Argyll & Bute This charcoal-fuelled iron-smelting works was the most successful of a number of such works established in the western Highlands of Scotland in the mid-18th century. It was founded by the proprietors of the Newland Furnace in Furness. This shows the larger of two blocks of houses provided for workers in the ironworks, after damage by fire. This L-plan range provided markedly superior accommodation to the thatched cottages then general in the Argyll and Bute area. This was the last charcoal iron works to operate in Scotland, closing in the mid-1870s. These houses remained in occupation until the 1960s. Part has now been rebuilt as a dwelling house, though other parts are now ruinous. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
