Galley of Lorne Inn, Ardfern

History

The Galley of the Lorne Inn was used as a drovers inn, the inns were essential to the local community. Until modern times farming was the main occupation and cattle from the off lying islands, Jura, Scarba, etc., were landed near Craignish point and driven along the peninsula to the mainland. Of the three inns that ‘supported’ the drovers only the Galley or Lorne Inn, dating from 1680 survives in Ardfern.
