Garynahine Lodge, 19th century Formerly Garynahine Hotel, with adjacent stables, coach house, byre, barn and dairy; used as a shooting lodge since 1925. It may incorporate parts of the inn which occupied this site from at least 1720. Grimersta, 1871-2 Shooting lodge on the other side of Loch Cean Hulavig, now visually impaired by a barracklike annex of 1989. That it was built by one of Matheson's sporting tenants - Dr Thomas Key - confirms the demand for sporting tenancies at this period, and the low cost of labour. Of interest is the contemporary octagonal kennel block, one of a trio in Lewis, with a flue rising from the apex of its (now slateless) facetted roof.
