Not much info on the history of this rather nice Cottage, however there is a lot of information on the owners found inside.

The man who lived her was David Sharp and also I believe his brother Victor, two of three brothers, the third being Douglas.

Born around 1927, David and his Brother Victor went on to become Sheep Farmers eventually buying the Farm Shearers in his early twenties. David lived in this cottage for a good 60 years, his last known occupancy being around 2005, working his life as a Sheep Farmer all those days. I believe David passed away in 2007, his 80th year.

Living in the same cottage for some 60 years he became a bit of a recluse, working, living, hoarding in the farm. Living near the bread line for many years this Gentleman ended up becoming a bit of an alcholic and developing ppor health in later years.

I found this place a while back and been waiting patiently to explore it, waiting for one of those rare Scottish Bluebird days. This today turned out to be one of the best explores I've had in my local area. Spending around 5 hours here looking around getting true sense of what this Gent lived through and learning about his life.

This is Shearer's Cottage.

Beautiful little place, and that Austin A50 pickup is a rare beast indeed!
