description
The exact time of origin of Laggan View has not been passed down, which is why only the early 19th century can be given as the construction period. Laggan View is located directly on the street and was built in traditional construction on an area of around 11 × 7 m 2 . The elongated property ends about 50 m to the west and ends with a wall on the parallel street. The front door is located in the middle of the street in a small porch. This protrudes centrally from the front, has two windows on the side and ends with a gable roof . It is symmetrically surrounded by five windows. A slate-covered gable roof sits on the upper floor. The gable fronts are in traditional Harling-Technology plastered. The opposite side of Main Street is undeveloped so that Laggan View overlooks Loch Indaal . On the opposite bank opens Laggan in the side bay Laggan Bay where the name Laggan View ( Laggan-view ) is derived.
