Description
Drynachan is a late 18th and early 19th century cottage, likely incorporating fabric from the 17th century. It’s a single-storey and attic building with three bays, accompanied by a single-storey, three-bay addition to the north, which was formerly a steading. The cottage is constructed of rubble, with harl pointing (some of which is now cement pointing) and a limewashed exterior. A central door is sheltered by a later gabled porch, and there are two gabled dormers dating from around 1870. End stacks rise to a slate roof.
The former steading has an off-centre door and altered windows. It features an asbestos roof, piended to the north, and a rear extension. Local tradition suggests that Prince Charles Edward Stewart visited the cottage in 1746.
