Activities

Field Visit (14 May 2014)

NT 09463 78603 Possibly 18th century cottage, thatched on the north, west and south elevations only, and piended on the west end. Both the building and thatch are in a good condition, with the building currently being used as a holiday let by the Hopetoun House Estate, within which it is located. There are two decorative bird sculptures fixed to the top of the ridge in the centre, made from thatch and netting. The thatched ridge is decoratively sculpted, scobed and netted.
