Scope and Content The building has been on the Buildings at Risk (BAR) Register since 1990 (BAR reference number 816). BAR inspection notes in 1997 records the cottage to be ruinous and its roof collapsed. The cottage is listed as having a ‘thatched roof held down with wire netting stones’, with a ‘small rubble thatched outbuilding’. The cottage and outbuilding were listed together in 1982, and the listing notes at this time recorded it to be the ‘only thatched “lum” remaining in Ross and Cromarty District’ with only ‘one other thatched house inhabited in [the] District (Applecross)’. The notes also record that the cottage was lived in until 1981. The listing description should be updated accordingly.
