Remnants of an old ice house at Chanonry Point near Fortrose The Black Isle Scotland

Editorial use only. In the old days before the invention of the refrigerator fish and other foods would be kept in specially built ice houses such as the one shown here at Chanonry Point. Ice would be added during the winter and because of the heavy insulation food could be kept fresh for quite a while into warmer weather.
