Both
cottages are situated within a group of traditional vernacular stone
buildings, and are part of the original croft holding of West Linksness.
Care has been taken to use traditional materials and skills in the
construction and renovation of the buildings and the cottages received
an award from Orkney Heritage Society in memory of the late Laura
Grimond for excellence in design and construction.
|
| The croft land is still worked and stocked with pure bred Shetland sheep and a few distinctive spotty Jacob sheep. |
