Crofting refers to the land ownership system which is unique to Scotland, and a croft is technically a peice of land, but I’m talking about a crofter’s dwelling. There are a huge number of these derelict centuries old stone buildings which would’ve traditionally housed both livestock and people. They often have a cow shed at a lower level connected to the main dwelling so the heat would rise from the animals.
Converted croft on a remote Scottish island with horizon all round, facing west so I can watch the sun go down.
What is a croft in this context?
