Description

Talamh Aig Am Bothan is an early 19th century low single-storey cottage located at Stormy Hill in Portree, Skye. This traditional 3-bay gabled building features whitewashed rubble walls. The entrance door is positioned at the center, but it is obscured by a later porch that extends to the left and has a catslide roof that continues from the main pitch. There is a window to the right of the door. The end gables are blank, with a window located off-centre to the right at the rear. The cottage has timber sash and case windows and a tarred felt roof, along with coped gablehead stacks. The interior was not seen during the last inspection in 1998.
