Killegray, Killegray House

KILLEGRAY (Ceilleagraigh Sound of Harris) This verdant island just south of Ensay has for some time been owned by an Englishman and has not been permanently occupied since the mid-20th century. Killegray House - a late 18th-century farmhouse of two storeys and garrets with a later wing, until the 1830s occupied by the Campbells of Strond, a big farming family from South Harris. Renovated 1991 by Stuart Bagshaw & Assocs, who removed external render to expose masonry and re-lined the interior with timber.
