Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cottages at Luib. On the left is a fairly modern bungalow, while on the right is No 2, Luib, a restored Skye black house, now let as a self catering holiday cottage.

"Luib Nineteenth century crofting and fishing village with a good group of traditional Skye dwellings, though most are now roofless. An exception is No 2, rescued and re-thatched several times in recent decades. The stoneweighted straw thatch is piended between wallhead stacks and rounded at the ridge; mudmortared rubble walls are thick and roundangled; the front is of three bays with a central House, with simplest Arts & Crafts detail. door. But like No 5, which was reconstructed as a croft house museum before recently falling derelict, its appearance today is a late 20th-century interpretation of the original." Taken from "Western Seaboard: An Illustrated Architectural Guide", by Mary Miers, 2008. Published by the Rutland Press
