    Dating back 300 years, the village of Gearrannan was a crofting settlement containing a cluster of so called blackhouses. For centuries, these primitive one-room homes were shared by both humans and their livestock—the norm for farmers at the time—and separated by only a half wall divider.
    The village was inhabited until the early 70s and then abandoned. Luckily in 2001 they restored the houses and opened an open air museum. Some of the blackhouses are now self-catering accommodations.
