Ard Neackie is a rocky promontory connected with the mainland by a sandy spit. The stone pier which served the ferry across Loch Eriboll to Portnancon was built in the early C19 by the Sutherland/Stafford family tigether with the Heilam Inn nearby. On the promontory are four unusually large and well preserved lime kilns, built c.1870 as two pairs. In front of them is a boathouse and the older ferry pier which also served the lime kilns <1>.
