The house at Tighard was built by Robert Thom in 1905, and the woodland behind it dates from around the same time. The house faces south, where there is a terraced garden offering fine views across the harbour to Sanday. It is one-and-a half storeys high and has a hipped slate roof. The frontage has three bays, that on the W incorporating a full-height bay window, and is harled and whitewashed with sandstone dressings, which are painted black; the central door has a porch. It is currently let by the National Trust for Scotland as a holiday home.
Visited by RCAHMS (ARG), 16 August 1996.
