It was the last blackhouse hamlet to be abandoned by its inhabitants in Lewis in 1974. These nine traditional thatched cottages have been restored and are a mirror of the past. The setting is picturesque, with the beach and cliffs at the end of the road. The whole is particularly photogenic, full of character and authenticity. Today, there are several rental accommodation offers, a souvenir shop and a small museum that details the past of the place.

type d'architecture intéressant
ce sont de vieilles maisons restaurées qui sont utiles pour voir comment les gens ont survécu aux intempéries d'avant. Il y a aussi un exemple de châssis manœuvré par un gars qui ressemble à Sean Connery. Vous pouvez voir comment la tourbière aide à chauffer la maison et vous avez également un restaurant qui propose un peu de nourriture et de boissons aux personnes qui ne veulent pas sortir sous la pluie...
