NM3024 : Tòrr Mòr quarry pier from Bull Hole
taken 2 years ago, near to Fionnphort, Isle of Mull, Argyll And Bute, Scotland
Tòrr Mòr quarry pier from Bull Hole
Bull Hole is a sheltered channel between Eilean nam Ban and the Ross of Mull, which forms a convenient anchorage for any vessel with a shallow enough draft. This includes the Iona ferry, which beds down tied to the island each night. The pier and buildings here are associated with the granite quarry at Tòrr Mòr and the jetty would have provided a secure place to tie up boats exporting the product elsewhere, out of the swiftly flowing tide in the Hole itself. It's looking a bit decrepit now, however, and what boats are here are pulled up safely on the grass above the beach.
