Hi @bonnie_gail the Blackhouse was constructed at the Highland Folk Museum in the 1940s by Isabel Grant, our founder, when the museum was based in Kingussie. It was built as a replica, to show how people used to live in houses like this. It was then moved to the Newtonmore site when the museum relocated in the 2000s. Inside, the Blackhouse is presented to the late 1800s
Wonderful ❤
1940s ?? Not 1840s ?
