Summary

Description
English: The cottage at Auchtavan. The cottage was recently the subject of a major restoration project. http://www.auchtavan.com

The cottage is of particular historical significance because it is considered to provide nationally important surviving evidence of the early traditional Scottish small house and it has of a number of rare architectural features. These include a cruckframed roof structure, with heather and thatch roofing under corrugated iron; rubble dry stone walls with some lime mortar, and a largely intact hanging lum (chimney) of vertical timber boarding over an open hearth. The cottage would originally have been divided into two; the left side was for the animals and the right side with the hanging lum was for the family. See also 1466978 1466981
