The inspiration for this truly unique building came from dwellings that were scattered across the Scottish coastline during the iron age. This is probably the first broch built in the UK since the Roman era, and the vision was to make it appear as if 21st century comforts had been transplanted within an ancient ruin.

Standing three stories high, the Broch’s main aspect commands views over the wooded Borve Valley direct towards the distant ruin of an iron age citadel, in keeping with the ancient tradition of having a network of keeps within line of sight. The Broch pushed the boundaries of dry-stone wall methods. Drawing inspiration from the Broch at Carloway on Lewis, stones were placed in random configuration, with the base stones being nearly 2ms wide, before tapering upwards. Massive lintel stones sit above each window, and slate ramps ensure rain runs down and off windowsills. The roof is crowned with turf, and the Broch is entered across a slate draw-bridge.

The Rock House is very roomy, well equipped and comfortable. For cooler days it has underfloor heating which can be topped up with the log burner. There is parking for two cars adjacent to the cottage. and the access road, although largely unsurfaced, is not a problem. The view from the cottage over the fields to Borve Beach is simply stunning in all weathers. Even the sheep in the field below the cottage can be entertaining to watch. Being roughly half way between Tarbert and Leverburgh, the location allows easy access to grocery shops and services in both villages. Particularly special is t...more
