Query 1101
This is a photo of what I am pretty certain are the remains of a
tramway, used to haul the granite blocks quarried on the Ross of Mull up
the hill to construct Glengorm Castle. The line would have continued
behind the photographer up to a headshunt and then up to the castle
site. Unfortunately the construction of the castle pre-dates the 1st series OS maps so only the line of the track is shown. I haven't managed to find any reference to a tramway but there's a lot of granite in that castle! Does anyone have any more information about this aspect of the castle's construction?
