Fodderletter Lum

This free-standing stone chimney is one of two solitary 'lums' which can be found on the roadside between Tomintoul and Grantown-on-Spey. They were originally used by the roadmen who were formally responsible for the upkeep of this stretch of road, in the 1920's and 30's.
For shelter, the men used a portable wooden hut which was set up against the chimneys allowing them to have a fire - no doubt a welcome retreat during inclement weather !
This lum was restored in 1996 as part of a conservation project run by the Crown Estate and the Scottish Convservation Projects Trust.
Please do not climb on the structure, the cache is not up the chimney, it is placed nearby.
