That said, Bonawe is best known for an ancient iron furnace constructed back in the 18th century. The Lorn Furnace or Bonawe Furnace is located across the loch in Glenorchy and Innishail Parish, between the Awe and Nant rivers. The furnace is located close to Taynuilt Village in Muckairn Parish where the River Nant separates it.

The Bonawe Historic Iron Furnace was built by Richard Ford & Co (the Newland Company) in 1753 from Furness (Cumbria). The construction of the structure involved the use of Furness haematite ore with local charcoal. The company operated the furnace until 1876. Now, the site is under the guardianship of Historic Scotland.
