Scope and Content The building is part of a group listing with the adjacent cottage, both of which forms the Glencoe & North Lorne Museum. The byre is contemporary to the cottages, but is of unknown date. The roof is thatched in heather and has a continuous heather ridge. It has been left uncovered except for along the ridge, which has been covered in a strip of netting that is secured to the roof by metal pegs. Much of the heather is missing throughout the thatch, which is exposing the roof structure beneath, and has an amount of mossy vegetation growth across the surface of the heather. Next to the byre is a street sign that has a pitched heather-thatched roof.
