The Hebridean Blackhouse - A Guide to Materials, Construction and Maintenance - Technical Advice Note 5
In 1990 the need arose for a full overhaul of the Hebridean Blackhouse at No 42 Arnol, Lewis. When the property first came into state care in 1962, it was restored as a visitor attraction. It was, however, kept as intact as possible so that its purpose, characteristics and form could be readily appreciated by those who viewed it. The 1990 programme of works provided an ideal opportunity to undertake a more intense study of the structure. This Note aims to further understanding of an extremely cultured piece of architecture and to provide practitioners with an effective model to follow in the care and preservation of similar indigenous building types.
