Tofts HY 3731 3257 HY33SE
The house of Tofts is the centrepiece of the cleared tunship of Ouandal, but it was perhaps once a tunship in itself; it is documented back to 1601 and has been claimed to be the oldest two-storeyed house in Orkney. The building, which has crow-stepped gables and double-splayed windows fitted for glass, is ruinous and it is structurally giving cause for concern.
