Description
Bracorina is a single-storey and attic house, dating from 1836, with a single-storey, four-bay former chapel attached to its west gable. The house is harled with margins of tooled rubble. The south elevation of the chapel, now part of the dwelling, features pointed-headed windows framing a similarly shaped, off-centre entrance. The windows have multi-pane glazing, and the roof is slate-covered, with ridge and end stacks. The original church building was relocated to Morar in 1888, and it subsequently served as a school. The church was built on the site of an earlier church. In 1836, T. A. Fraser, of the Lovat family, contributed $100 towards the building’s construction. The building now functions as a dwelling. References provide further detail, including the New Statistical Account and a work by Frederick Odo Blundell.
