Scope and Content Mid 18th century or earlier longhouse, which was restored in 1992 and in 1997. According to the listing description, the thatch was reinstated in 1992 by Duncan Matheson who installed a roof of ‘rye straw and heather divots’. The listing notes also state that the thatch was renewed in 1997. During the renovation work in the 1990s, corrugated iron had been removed from the roof and the thatch was reinstated, however, corruagated iron has been installed again on the roof, presumably covering the thatch underneath. Internal access could not be gained upon visiting and therefore the condition of the thatch could not be determined. Further investigation into the status of the thatch should be undertaken. The grid reference held by Historic Environment Scotland in the listing record and on Canmore (NN 81688 49248) needs to be corrected as they both identify the adjacent farm buildings to the south.
