I wanted to buy this house and live here, next to the Callanish stones. Sadly crofters are being pushed out by the uneconomic hard life of farming on a small piece of land - youth depopulation is a real problem, they don't want to croft like their parents. Interestingly southerners are moving in to try crofting...and a lot of crofts are now protected from becoming tourist/weekend cottages.

The shape next to it is the ruins of a blackhouse...and there also was a previous circular hut ruin on the site also - several generations. Shame this was empty, all that history gone to waste.
