HISTORY
This terrace of cottages was originally built as a block of three farm cart sheds and stables with overhead hay lofts circa 1790. After the construction of the Tarrel Farm Steadings in 1850 the cart sheds were converted to a terrace of five one and a half storey workers cottages. During World War II the cottages were altered by the MOD with the addition of typical war time porches and extensions.

The cottage is located about 1.5 miles from the village of Portmahomack and Tain is approximately 8 miles away. It is accessed via a private drive, from the B9165 and is superbly located, enjoying panoramic views over the surrounding countryside.
Portmahomack is a picturesque coastal village on the Tarbat peninsula approx 9 miles from Tain. Primary school education is available at the village school, which also has a pre-school nursery.
