Scope and Content According to a website advertising the property as holiday accomodation (www.southuist.com), the cottage was ‘built in 2008 using local stone and thatched in reed’. The ridge appears to be thatched in straw and secured by two rows of horizontal metal wire. The entire roof is netted, including across the ridge, which has been weighted along the eaves and around the chimney stacks at either gable end with stones secured to the netting with wire. There is a small outbuilding to the south east, which is thatched in the same manner as the cottage.
