Abandoned Croft!

Abandoned coastal croft on the harbour at Latheronwheel, Caithness,
Harbour built in the 1830s and it is probable that the croft was built around the same time.

Muted tones to suit the mood!

Large view probably better as always, HWW!

Keith Burton ^club

That abandoned croft seems to have stood the test of time very well. At first glance it seems that it only needs a new roof and windows..!!

It fits well into the environment and you've captured it in lovely detail. I love the muted colours too.

A splendid shot Roger!

5 months ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club

As you say the croft has survived rather well especially considering its coastal location,
Than you for the nice comments they are as always really appreciated Keith.
