Old Walls on the Fell of Carleton
The raised beach along the shore of Luce Bay is well seen on this stretch of coast. The tidal pond visible near the high water mark is called Lochanscadden (Lochan sgadein - the herring pool) and is one of a group of similar pools called the Lochans of Cairndoon.
There is a local story that when these walls were being built, control of a horse and cart was lost and they careered into the loch at this point and were never to be seen again.
