NH 74500 44998 Mid 19th century cottage, located on the site of the Battle of Culloden and now part of the National Trust for Scotland museum complex. The listing description for the building states that it has a ‘piended heather thatched roof (c.1982 re-thatch)’. Across the top of the ridge and down the sides, turf has been placed in rectangular tiles and pegged to the roof with wooden pegs. Thin wooden branches have been secured to the thatch directly underneath the turf on the ridge in places, it would appear to add further support to the turf and stop them from slipping. The thatch has been left uncovered, and there are metal hooks secured into the stone below the eaves that are currently not being used, which would suggest the thatch was tied down using these hooks at some point in the past. Also known as Old Leanach Cottage.
