What is recorded here

Fullarton Ice-house stands in South Ayrshire, Scotland, a post Medieval structure beside a medieval tower house, its exact point known to the nearest metre. It may have stored winter ice for summer use, serving the people who lived nearby through heat and hardship. The tower house suggests long human presence, while the ice-house suggests practical cleverness, capturing cold before need arrived. Together they mark a place where memory and survival still shape the land.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Fullarton Ice-house as Icehouse (post Medieval), Tower House (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
