HFF 1/4/22 Newish fence, old buildings (circa 1800). The brickwork around the door, and the door itself, is fairly recent renovation. No longer a 'proper' farm, although the surrounding land still has a few sheep and some is also used for crops.

A croft is a fenced or enclosed area of land, usually small and arable, and usually, but not always, with a crofter's dwelling thereon. A crofter is one who has tenure and use of the land, typically as a tenant farmer, especially in rural areas. The Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 gives crofters the right to buy their land. The word croft (Scottish Gaelic - croit) is West Germanic in etymology and is now most familiar in Scotland, most crofts being in the Highlands and Islands area.
