Bonawe ([bon'ɔː]; Scottish Gaelic: Bun Abha, [pun'a.ə]) is a village in Argyll and Bute, Scotland opposite Taynuilt on the north shore of Loch Etive, most famous for Bonawe Quarry (). Bonawe is primarily a linear settlement along on the B845 road and the coast.
The name is derived from Scottish Gaelic Bun Abha, meaning "the mouth of the River Awe".
Lorn Furnace or Bonawe Furnace is located across the loch in Taynuilt. It was built in 1753 by Richard Ford & Co. (the Newland Company) from Furness (now in Cumbria) to use Furness haematite ore with local charcoal. The same company operated the furnace until 1876.[1] The site is in the guardianship of Historic Scotland.[2]
