Strachur Smiddy Museum, Strachur

Strachur Smiddy, built around 1790, is a well-preserved and functioning blacksmith's shop that has operated as Strachur Smiddy Museum since 1997. The listing excludes Forge Cottage and the shop adjoining the rear of Forge Cottage.

This single-storey, one-room building is made of lime-washed rubble and has its gable end facing the road. It features a large, squat gable-end chimney stack with thackstane, low eaves, and a grey slate roof. On the northwest elevation, there is a timber boarded half-door with a small-pane fixed window to the left. A stone is set between the door and window, featuring a small cast iron loop for tying horses. At the rear (southeast elevation), there is a late 19th century lean-to section with a corrugated-iron roof.

Inside, as observed in 2015, the space is a single room containing a rubble forge with two furnaces and two pairs of bellows. The floor is partly cobbled. The museum's collection includes early boring equipment, a fire extinguisher, an anvil, and a large assortment of smaller blacksmith and farrier tools.
