main image Cottages, Aberfeldy, Perthshire
These houses are of a central-highland type. They have a thatched roof, held down with wooden spars and a turf apex. Their front walls have been lime-washed and a stone buttress props up the front wall.

The chimney heads are of a type used with wooden canopy chimneys. They are butted against, rather than set into, the wall and hung above a low-set fire.
