This delightful large bedroom has a cathedral ceiling and interesting features. Every ceiling is tongue and groove wood, and all except the bedroom have recessed spotlights.In its previous life, the original Bothy was my art studio and prior to that was a farm worker’s cottage/grain store in the 19thCentury.

It still retains original Orkney stone frontage on one wall, while another has double wooden cladding and the rest are pebble - dashed.
