The house is made of traditional Scottish stone

We have said on page 1 of our webpage (http://www.accommodationbedscotland.com) that the building is an "historic stone farm-workers' cottage, built around 1820, with many attractive original features". The image shows just one of the corner stones from which the cottage is made. You can also see another stone to the left of it, behind the plants. These stones are all along the base of the side and front of the building, showing the ground level construction. As we understand it, the stones were quarried locally. Similar stones make up all the outside walls, with smaller stones on top of the larger ones. The whole wall is then harled to give it the pebbledash finish you can see. These buildings are usually very strong and keep the heat in in the cold weather.
