Why was this constructed and what was its purpose?

Why was this constructed and what was its purpose?


Postby JohnFaeGourdie » Thu Apr 08, 2021 7:14 am

Out walking along to Reekie Lynn recently and noticed a very strange ‘outbuilding’!
It appears to be a brick construction but why, when and how it was built, has really got me curious...let alone how anyone is meant to access it.
If you look at the attached pic you’ll see it located in a pretty inaccessible location just to the left of the waterfall.
Hopefully someone on here can enlighten me. 🤞🏻
