That's so close I have to give it you Wendy. It's the Muck fly boat that carried passengers from the Isle of Muck across to the Loch Mor which in those days couldn't get in to the quay at either Eigg or Muck and so their 'fly boat' had to ferry passengers out to the Loch Mor which hove to off Castle Island.. I think the ferry can get in to the Eigg quay now but the Muck fly boat will still be needed.
I've had a furtle and yes the ferry can dock at Eigg now but not at Muck.

You were on the ball with your first answer Tom. It's a small domestic cane crusher turned by a horse walking round in a circle.
Well done, good observation. Next object anyone?

Looks like there are some large pipes in the background top right, and the hole looks like it could be a pit for something, and has some serious shoring up.
