Orkney Smr Note (June 1982)
The traditional stone-built structures of the Holland farm
complex are all of unusual quality. Best among them is a horse
engine house, circular inside and out; all but one of the
original side-openings have been built up, and the machinery,
together with one of the two massive cross-beams which supported
it, has been removed; but the flagstone-covered conical roof has
been well restored by the owner, who uses the building for
storing hay.
Information from Orkney SMR (RGL) Jun 82
Field Visit (June 1982)
Holland Farm HY 4884 5153 HY45SE
The fine, mid-nineteenth century stone buildings of the Holland farm complex include a horse-engine house, circular within and without, with a conical flagstone-covered roof; although the machinery has gone and the side-openings have been built up, the building is in excellent repair.
