Mini 3 The 'Wee Hoose', Little Loch Shin, Lairg

[AlbionDrones]

Something a little different today, the wonderfully quirky 'Wee Hoose' in Lairg, a place that always makes me smile when we see it.

I have long wanted to fly it, but every time we have passed there were nesting birds or the weather wasn't right, this time though, we were good to go, and although it is only a short flight and video, it captures the essence of the place...

Frem 'Heart of Scotland FB postWee hoose on Loch Shin

A tiny house, which is appropriately known as the Wee Hoose (or the Wee House), sits on a mini island in Loch Shin, Scotland. Allegedly, it was built in 1824, by a gentleman named Jock Broon. He was given a small plot of land by a local official, as a token of appreciation for Broon’s whisky distillation know-how. Sadly, shortly after becoming a first-time landowner, Broon perished in an unfortunate hunting accident: he unknowingly aimed his gun at his own foot

.However, the truth is that the wee house was constructed about 20 years ago, for a local celebration held in a nearby Scottish village the Lairg Gala. The tale of Jock Broon was made up by one of the builders of the wee house in a mischievous fit of fun. The wee house has become quite a spectacle in recent years. Visitors from around the world come to Loch Shin, in order to see the fantastical wee house. It looks as though it may be home to a family of water sprites, with thick Scottish accents.
