Explosive store, main building. The entrance is on the NE side, facing the Sailean B kilns, which perhaps confirms that it was associated with the Sailean B enterprise. (Colin Martin)

Stores compounds at Sailean B. The small enclosure in the foreground, which was roofed, was for storing processed lime. The larger open compound beyond it was for the coal brought in by sea, both for firing the lime-kilns and for sale locally. These compounds are not marked on the 1st edition OS 25-in map of 1871-2, but are evident in a photograph taken by Erskine Beveridge in 1883. The cottage in the background was the manager’s house and site office. It is shown as an unroofed building in the 1871-2 map. Beveridge’s photograph shows it in an evidently refurbished state, with a tarred roof. (Colin Martin)
