Scope and Content The building is listed as having a ‘muran thatch roof, secured by ropes and stones at inner wall head’. The grid reference given by Canmore and Historic Environment Scotland for the building relates to the building on the right of the below image, however, from the listing description, and by a Buildings at Risk entry, the listed building is the one shown below centre, which has been on the Buildings at Risk (BAR) Register since 1997 (BAR reference number 1501). In 1996 upon inspection by BAR, it was recorded that the roof needs rethatching. An image of the building on Canmore taken circa 2000 shows the cottage with a thatched roof. There is no longer any thatch left on the roof and the building’s interior is exposed to the elements. The listed building description and grid reference should be updated accordingly.
