Inside one of the blackhouses is a "living museum" where you will find, to your right as you enter, a pleasant man working away on an old Hattersley Loom on which the famous Harris Tweed is made. The taking of photographs is allowed but a small donation is expected. It is well worth taking a photo as it is becoming a rare sight these days.

Moving to the room to the left as you enter there is the main living area where you will meet a most pleasant woman who gives demonstrations on spinning. Although she was a little shy I was allowed to take her photograph promising I would not put it on the site but thought that this was such a pleasant photo she wouldn't mind - of course I will remove it if wanted!

Beyond the living area is the small sleeping area. The style of the beds was common in the Hebridean Blackhouse and I would imagine they would be a warm and cosy place to rest from the ravages of a cold winter storm.

Turning back to leave the Blackhouse we can see from the image to the right the "compactness" of the blackhouse. The walls being approximately 3 feet deep makes the interior even smaller than one would expect from the exterior.
