NM 31458 21344 Listed building description reads ‘Small Highland cottage (Skye type). Straw-thatched roof with piended ends. Chimney-vent at W end’, however, the listing notes simply read ‘derelict’. The building is now a ruin, the rubble walls survive up to around the height of the door lintel and the whole site is overgrown with vegetation. Canmore records from a visit to the building in 1980 note that the ‘Thatched cottar’s house [...] probably dates from the first half of the 19th century; it was occupied until about 1968, but has deteriorated rapidly since that date’.
