Tugnet Ice House, Category A listed ice house in Spey Bay, Scotland
Description
Tugnet Ice House is a brick building with three long vaulted chambers located in Spey Bay, Scotland. Each chamber is divided into compartments and features a curved turf roof with three-gabled end elevations.
History
The building was constructed in 1830 to replace an earlier structure damaged by flooding. It served as an industrial facility for storing ice to preserve salmon from nearby fisheries.
Culture
The ice house was part of a salmon fishing operation that provided work and livelihood for the local community. People used this place for generations as a center of their daily work with the river and its resources.
Practical
The building is now part of the Scottish Dolphin Centre and can be visited during guided tours. Visitors should be aware that access conditions may vary depending on the season and weather.
Did you know?
The chambers have cobbled floors that slope toward central drainage sumps to manage water flow. Openings in the north and east walls served as chutes for depositing ice into the storage areas.
