Furnace, Argyll
Furnace ((スコットランド・ゲール語:An Fhùirneis)) (formerly Inverleacainn ((スコットランド・ゲール語:Inbhir Leacainn))) is a village in Argyll, on the west coast of Scotland, on the north shore of Loch Fyne, the longest sea loch in the United Kingdom. Furnace is around eight miles southwest of Inveraray on the A83 road road.
It is unusual for a West Highland village in having an industrial past in addition to the usual focus on agriculture and fishing. Industrial activity was led by three main businesses: the iron furnace, the powdermills and the quarry.
==Iron furnace==
This was the first to arrive, built in 1755〔(Historic Scotland ), recording that the lintel is marked GF 1755.〕 by the Duddon Company of Cumbria, drawn by the local forest capable of supplying the charcoal needed in smelting iron. The village, then called Inverleacainn (the mouth of the River Leacainn) gradually took on the shorthand name of ‘the furnace’ and finally, simply ‘Furnace’. The furnace itself shut down in 1813, made redundant by the coal-fired steam engine.〔Harrison Ainslie〕 The Duddon Company was bought by Harrison Ainslie in 1828.
