Scope and Content 17th century with later alterations, two-storey house, which is now owned by the National Trust for Scotland. The notes of the listed building description for the house reads that the ‘property was acquired by the National Trust [for Scotland] in 1938 and formally opened in 1951’ and ‘was renovated and re-thatched in 1971’. The roof is thatched in reed and has a raised straw ridge. The entire roof has been netted, including across the ridge, and has been boxed in with timber underneath the eaves along the front elevation. Along the rear elevation, where the entrance to the museum is located, there is what appears to be guttering installed underneath the eaves. The thatch has deteriorated somewhat and the surface of the thatch is therefore uneven. There is also a small amount of mossy vegetation growth on the surface of the thatch, as well as some small plants growing near the skews and some loose pieces of thatch, particularly along the ridge.
