English: Figs. 1. and 2. Plan and elevation of a both, one of a group of three at the garry of Aird Mhor, close to the shore and near the mouth of Loch Resort, Uig, Lewis. This compound both has evidently been intended for two related families; at either end has been a roofed porch with two doors, leading into a main chamber, containing cupboards; but there iis no interior communi- tion between the dwellings.

Fig. 3. Both, near last. This both, which is now a ruin, has been one of the most complete yet noticed. A roofed porch was entered by two doors; this leads into a comparatively large main chamber, from whence is a small irregular store or churn-room, still entire; attached is another good sized both that served for a dairy. Fig. 4. Both, near last.
