Moirlanich Longhouse is a rare example of a cruck frame Scottish cottage. It stands in Glen Lochay near Killin in Perthshire.
The cottage is owned by the National Trust for Scotland and is open to visitors, from May to September, Sundays and Wednesdays, 2.00 - 5.00 p.m.
Removal of the corrugated roof during a recent renovation revealed the remains of the roof and analysis of this has added significantly to our knowledge of thatching in the Highlands in the period the house was built.[1]
