Fasagh Ironworks is a seventeenth-century iron smelting site located on the shore of Loch Maree in Ross-shire, Scotland. The works were established to exploit local iron ore deposits and charcoal resources in this remote Highland location, representing a significant industrial enterprise of the period. The site comprises the remains of furnace structures and associated working areas, evidence of the technological and logistical effort required to conduct iron production in the Scottish Highlands during the early modern period. The ironworks operated within the context of broader seventeenth-century efforts to develop Scotland's mineral resources, though like many such ventures of the era, its operation was limited by geographical isolation and the challenges of Highland industry.
