Scope and Content View of 'Heatherhouse' at Caol Ila, Islay, Argyll and Bute The small distillery village of Caol Ila is just north of Port Askaig on Islay. Heatherhouse lies c.1km west of the village, and is actually a row of four single-storeyed cottages probably dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. This is one of the end cottages. All four cottages are rubble-built and limewashed. The two outer cottages still retain the heather-thatched roofs which gave the cottages their name, while the roofs of the centre two have been replaced with slates. The heather thatch is held in place by wooden battens running horizontally across the roof. This form of thatching was relatively common in the West Highlands of Scotland and in Ireland.
