Description

Temple Cottages in Drumnadrochit are a pair of late 18th century, two-storey, three-bay cottages that were built at different times. The cottages are finished with white harling. The western cottage is dated 1851 and features an off-centre door along with three ground floor windows, which have 16-pane glazing. The eastern cottage has a wide three-bay layout with a central door and a canted oriel window in the first-floor outer bay, added in 1984, and mainly has 4-pane glazing. Both cottages have boulder footings, end and ridge stacks, and slate roofs.
