Tugnet Ice House, Category A listed ice house in Spey Bay, Scotland
The Tugnet Ice House features three long brick-vaulted chambers divided into compartments with curved turf roofs and square three-gabled elevations at each end.
Built in 1830 to replace a flood-damaged structure, this industrial facility stored ice for preserving salmon from the Spey fishery before market distribution.
The ice house formed part of the Gordon Estate salmon-fishing station, which employed 150 people and represented traditional Scottish maritime commerce.
Located at coordinates 57.6734° N and -3.0925° W, the building now functions as part of the Scottish Dolphin Centre, offering tours and wildlife observation.
The chambers contain cobbled floors that slope toward central drainage sumps, with high openings in north and east walls functioning as ice deposit chutes.
