<p>This Refurbishment Case Study describes works to a small vernacular building in a <br />rural location close to the town of Braemar. The building had been unoccupied since <br />the 1930s, and due to a modern plantation of Douglas fir and Spruce, had been <br />largely hidden. A change of ownership in recent years resulted in a plan to refurbish <br />the cottage for holiday accommodation. During this process the almost unique <br />nature of its survival and the importance of the building was recognised by the client <br />and Historic Scotland1 was informed.</p>

<p>Black Barn is a small heather-thatched cruck-framed building dating from<br />the early 18th century. It is a rare survivor of a once widespread vernacular<br />building type in the north of England. Grade II* listed, it still has the<br />historically significant original heather thatch as well as the primary timbers<br />of the cruck roof construction.  {blue}:cool:  </p>]]></content:encoded>
