Tucked away on the windswept Isle of Tiree, this traditional thatched cottage is a beautiful reminder of Hebridean heritage. The thick thatch, made from locally sourced materials like marram grass, offers natural insulation—perfect for the island’s ever-changing weather. Uniquely, rounded beach stones line the roof’s edge, held down with netting to withstand strong Atlantic winds.
These croft houses are more than homes—they’re living history. Many date back over a century and reflect sustainable, community-built architecture designed to survive in harmony with nature.
Have you ever visited Tiree or stayed in one of these charming cottages?
