NC36NW 8 3260 6933
This disused quarry is situated 100m S of the former shepherd’s house at Inshore (NC36NW 2) and immediately W of the public road that links the slipway on the Kyle of Durness (NC 3708 6603) to the lighthouse (NC27SE 3.00) at Cape Wrath. It is irregular on plan and relatively shallow and is first depicted on the 2nd edition of 6-inch map (Sutherland 1908, sheet V). It may have been opened to provide building materials for the shepherd’s house.
