NO 20351 95524 Access to this site could not be gained and therefore it is unknown whether this building remains thatched. The grid reference held by Historic Environment Scotland on the listing (NO 1776 9253), as well as that held by Canmore appears to be incorrect as it identifies a site to the east of Invercauld House, whereas the description states it is located to the north of the house. The summerhouse is listed as being 'mid 19th century. Simple, rustic, timber hexagonal summerhouse with open entrance to S and thatch roof, situated in woods on steep slope to N of Invercauld House and with extensive views to the house and surrounding policies'.

NF 82660 55447 The building was not visited as part of the survey due to the grid reference being held by Canmore and Historic Environment Scotland (HES) being incorrect, both referring to a site north of Kyles Flodda (grid reference NF 82701 56203). There is, however, a derelict thatched cottage that is not listed, located close to where Canmore and HES identified (grid reference NF 82813 56215), which is currently on the Buildings at Risk Register (BAR Reference Number 4781). Through online research, the listed building was located and found to be in use as holiday accomodation. Whilst the current material or condition of the thatch is unknown, from web-based imagery the roof, at the time of web-based visits, appears to be thatched in marram with a continuous marram ridge. The thatched also appears to be netted, weighted at the eaves and around the chimney stacks with stones. The condition of the thatch should be clarified and the grid reference for the building should be updated accordingly. [...] |
