Scope and Content Late 18th to early 19th century cottage, listed as having thatch surviving underneath its corrugated iron roof. Historic Environment Scotland bought the building in 1998 after the death of its last owner, and according to the website it has ‘carried out an extensive programme of conservation, archaeological excavation and research, which has illuminated the intriguing history of this building and its inhabitants’. The building is currently closed to visitors, and the interior was therefore not inspected. The listed building notes read ‘thatch (much repaired) consisting of variety of materials, layers include cereal straw, some light grey clay, grassy turves (laid grass side down), rye straw and broom twigs. Supporting cabers of small-diameter pine and birch’.
