wall; end stacks added - 1 central flue, heather thatch
roof secured with netting and stone weights; wallhead
mainly covered by thatch.

Statement of Interest

Unoccupied (1983). House shown on this site on 1st ed.

O.S. (surveyed 1878). Although thatch reaches to outer

wall head, cottage is essentially Hebridean type: this

arrangement may date only from circa 1980 rethatching.
