Description
472b South Lochboisdale is a single-storey cottage with a roughly rectangular plan, typical of Hebridean architecture, likely built in the mid to late 19th century. The cottage features a thatched roof and rubble walls that are limewashed with rounded corners. The small window openings are deeply recessed. It is situated in South Lochboisdale, towards the southeast of the Isle of South Uist, set back from the road that runs along the south side of Loch Boisdale and is accessible only by foot. The cottage was the home of local Bard, Dòmhnall Aonghais Bhàin, until 2000 and has been unoccupied since then.
The principal northeast elevation has three bays, with a central door flanked by windows. There are two rectangular rubble-built chimneystacks on each end wall. The window to the right of the front door is a three-pane timber casement, while the window to the left is a two-pane non-traditional replacement.
The thatched roof is made of marram grass, but areas on the southeast end and northwest corner have been lost, exposing the roof timbers. Netting is still in place over the remaining thatch, secured by ropes, with some weighting stones around the chimneystacks.
The interior has not been seen.
