Description

Eriskay is a pair of two-storey, two-bay houses built around 1830, located at Cullochy Lock on the Caledonian Canal. The houses are harled, and the entrances are situated in the outer bays of the west-facing front, which faces the canal. These entrances are covered by later lean-to porches. The first-floor windows are smaller and feature multi-pane glazing in the upper sashes. The houses have a piended slate roof with projecting eaves and a central ridge stack.
