Field Visit (10 June 2015)
NF 77531 55350 Located near to the centre of the largest settlement on the Isle of Benbecula, and close to the airport and north coast of the island. The cottage is newly renovated from a ruin (confirmed by web-based satellite imagery) and has a marram-thatched roof with a continuous marram ridge. The roof has been entirely netted, including across the ridge, which has been weighted along the eaves and around the chimney stacks at either end with stones secured to the netting with wire.
