History
"Ardnadam village is of very recent date," wrote John Colegate in 1868.[3] "Only a few years ago, an excellent pier and hotel were built. Since then, many feus have been taken, and neat cottages erected thereon." The first proprietor of The Ardnadam, the village's early hotel, was Mr Jamieson. He was also the pier master.[3]
