description
The former farmhouse does not correspond to the typical island construction. While Historic Scotland sees it as architecturally borrowed from the construction in the Highlands , the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland sees it as the usual style on the Isle of Skye . The building was built from quarry stone in the 18th century. It is one-story and ends with a thatched gable roof . The interior is divided into two rooms. The usual chimneys can be found on the gables.
Today the house is in a ruinous condition. The outer walls are largely preserved, but the roof has collapsed. The building is owned by a farmer named Ferguson , who uses it to store hay. When the house was abandoned and fell into disrepair is not recorded.
