Scottish Thatched Building Survey

NF 79392 73731 Listed as part of a group listing along with ‘Probably 19th century’ cottage, Struan Cottage (survey number 254). The listing description notes its use as a garage, however, building currently appears to be in use as a store for the cottage, which is used as holiday accomodation. The roof of the building is thatched in marram and has a continuous marram ridge. The entire thatch has been netted, and weighted at the eaves with stones secured to the netting by string, in the same manner as the cottage.
