Description

Eilean Tioram Fishing Station, built around 1840, is located on a small island with a stone jetty. The building is a two-storey and attic structure that has been converted into a house. It features five irregular bays facing northwest, with a harled exterior and a steeply pitched slated roof. On the ground floor, there are two doors; one leads to a lobby, with a kitchen window to the right and a wider doorway and window to the left that were part of a former salt store. The first floor has four windows for the bedrooms, which are fitted with plate glass sashes, and there are four skylights in the attic accommodation.

Adjoining the house at right angles to the left is a late 19th-century wooden shed, consisting of six irregular bays and topped with a corrugated sheet metal roof, likely used for fish curing and storage. In front of the house is a broad sloping rubble jetty, along with an additional slipway and outbuildings for boat repair to the southwest. At the rear of the house, there is a rubble-walled vegetable garden.
