Scope and Content Workers' Houses, Inverbrora Steading, Highland Inverbrora Steading was built on the huge Sutherland estate which, by 1873, comprised almost 1.3m acres, more than 90% of the county. By 1829, 36 lowland mixed farms had been created mostly along the coastal strip between Bonar Bridge and Helmsdale. Inverbrora was one of these estate 'improvements' and dates from 1820. These workers' houses are seen here from the south. Designed as two houses with a central shared chimney-stack, the building is composed of rubble masonry walls and a slate roof. It is one-and-a half-storeyed and unusual in having tripartite windows in both gable ends. These houses are situated north-east of the farm steading behind the stack yard. James Loch (1780-1855) was commissioner to the Stafford/Sutherland estates during the early 19th century 'improvements'. He was immensely loyal to the family, dividing his time between the two estates, before eventually becoming a Member of Parliament. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
