Full Description
Cottage, built in the later 19th Century, and still in residential use. It is a single storey and attic T-plan cottage, constructed of granite rubble with tooled dressings. The symmetrical front elevation (south west) has an advanced central gable, with a commemorative plaque above the timber door that reads: 'HERE R L STEVENSON SPENT THE SUMMER OF 1881 AND WROTE 'TREASURE ISLAND' HIS FIRST GREAT WORK'. The plaque was installed by the Braemar Mutual Improvement Association. The building displays many of the characteristics particular to this region, such as the gabled dormers, decorative barge boards and octagonal stacks, and is a good example of the traditional methods of construction in the area. Also known as 'Robert Louis Stevenson Cottage'.
