Lime kiln, 250m NE of South Clunes Farm is a post-medieval industrial structure located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The kiln represents the type of lime-burning installation that became increasingly common in the Highlands from the 18th century onwards, serving local agricultural and building needs. Such kilns were typically single-chamber structures designed to heat limestone to high temperatures, producing quicklime for use as fertiliser and mortar. The site's survival as a recorded monument demonstrates the importance of lime production to rural Highland economy during the early modern period.
