Development History
July 1994: SCT understands that the cottages were last occupied in the 1950s, and external inspection reveals them to now exist in a very dilapidated state. The roof of the left cottage has recently blown off. The owner intimates that he intends to restore. January 1996: Inspection of the roof by Historic Scotland shows the remaining thatch to be in very good condition, although subject to weather or animal disturbance in places. January 2000: External inspection reveals that the cottages are continuing to deteriorate. August 2003: Local planners report no change. July 2005: Local plannners report that they have met with owner who reported that the cottages are not available for sale.
15 February 2012: External inspection finds the building subject to slow general decay.
17 November 2021: External inspection finds that the building continues to decay and has been damaged by tree fall at north end. Established vegetation growth is a threat to the remaining structure. Roofed sections appear stable.
