The Blackhouse, Arnol

A really interesting insight into historical island life, however £9.95 for entry is beyond ridiculous. This seems to be a common theme in Scotland these days and is being used to exploit tourists. If it was even £5, local tourists like myself would be more prone to going into the museum, instead we took some photos from the road and left. Interesting but only 2 houses to see and a gift shop. Quite expensive for what's on offer but enjoyed our This site should not be missed as it highlights the hazardous living conditions suffered by crofters ie breathing the choking fumes of burning peat. The building and exhibits show how black houses were eventually replaced by ‘white’ houses. A reference no doubt to the move away from the ‘black’ house, tar coated ceilings, walls, floors, furniture and more endured by residents. In addition the information boards and exhibits give a detailed overview of the way of life and the background and history of the area. Well worth a visit. 👍👍👍 Amazing place, very interesting history. They had a fire going in the main room when we were there, so be prepared to be smelling of smoke for the rest of your day. Be sure to cross the road and the White House as well. Very interesting and we enjoyed our and chat with the chap tending to the pest fire. Very atmospheric with the peat smoke. Incredible place! The main blackhouse (there's also the ruins of another one here) is so impressive, and comes complete with a peat fire burning. Loved the smell of it, and was impressed by the heat it put out! Booked my head multiple times on the entrances to the blackhouse and between rooms. Oh, to be as physically flexible as I was in my younger days! Excellent place to learn about the history of the islanders. Lovely short film to watch. Very helpful shop where we got our pooch a book, learning Gaelic for dogs🤣🤣. Good parking Interesting to see but 10-15 minute is sufficient in my opinion. Cute but small gift shop. Lots of small bugs around made it almost unbearable to walk around any longer.
