Appraisal
This detached house is full of interest. Possibly originally a one-storey dwelling, the enlarged house may have been the residence of the clerk of the local mill. The attractive naivety of the rendered details contribute greatly to its interest. It plays a valuable role in the legacy of this unusual clachan village. The quonset hut was bought after World War Two following the departure of American Troops from Northern Ireland.
