The last occupant was known as 'The Painter', one Sandy Robb - who enjoyed indulging his fantasy imagination, molding the columns and the circling band of leaves in cement, and filling his garden with statues and whatever took his fancy." The cottage was abandoned after his death and fell into disrepair. https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo10955004.html https://photos.on-this.website/wm/5EfUpDsQpV8Y7YdbbcbyeWeWmbo=/fwct/1560177559/9133_3948338474e0b3626e95ac.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/kieselguhr https://photos.on-this.website/wm/3dcO15KB7fPj8coR2f85HafGdUM=/fwct/1560177559/9133_1950067724e12d805cbab2.jpgKieselguhr Used as an absorbent of nitroglycerin in the manufacture of dynamite. There is a particular kind of moss growing in the Black Moss which was apparently used to line trenches during the First World War. This corrugated iron house was built to house the people who harvested the moss and prepared it for shipment to France and Flanders. Its curious name looks vaguely German-like, and it may have been prisoners of war who were obliged to live and work here. Kieselgur is the German name of a natural substance, diatomaceous earth, which is used in filtration, and which was once used in making dynamite. Deposits of so-called 'white peat' on Black Moss were worked in the 19th century. In 1885, 200 tons from each of Black Moss and Ordie Moss nearby were extracted. Six tons of 'white peat' yielded one ton of Kieselgur when dried and it was used in the manufacture of dynamite, paint and other commodities. Diatomite was extracted until the end of WW1. There are still substantial deposits left, but the area is now part of the Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve, and the only market for it now is cat litter!

There is some mystery about the name but it may well be more to do with the people who lived there, not the actual croft. One crofter, Bob Brandie, who rented this place in 1950s, remembers being snowed in for nine weeks! By the way, my tripod was place in 3" of cow shit to take this shot - i hope it was worth it. No tricks here - the cow was just there. https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo38690683.html https://images.on-this.website/9133_505523675cfe5ea1db55e.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/he-never-went-anywhere-without https://photos.on-this.website/wm/6isRW-mrI0siwMrNHJBJms6U51s=/fwct/1560177559/9133_76876221650f2e446eefb9.jpgHe never went anywhere without his coat. https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/the-blood-is-strong https://photos.on-this.website/wm/CDnzJQs9ZGrShfJSwln5DfUzx6s=/fwct/1560177559/9133_29362586050f2e47fbdd82.jpgThe blood is strong. https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/cured-of-their-long-term https://photos.on-this.website/wm/wk6hT_RY2zQ1FBIsgZadouu1D6U=/fwct/1560177559/9133_88986579550f2e4794b0a9.jpgCured of their long term economic evils. This was Rev Dr Norman McLeod's reason for suggesting emigration to the Scottish Poor Law Commissioner's Report, published in 1844. He was probably right to suggest emigration as the only cure for many Highlanders at that time. https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo10954236.html https://photos.on-this.website/wm/poHGS8BJC9lMKNgLkG-05rhjR98=/fwct/1560177559/9133_14975168484e0b2ca7a2aa9.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo2970061.html https://photos.on-this.website/wm/A5g_YMMIdK3ci_Rnc16utL7807M=/fwct/1560177559/9133_3512236244a53a8516a429.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/badenyon-fireplace https://photos.on-this.website/wm/uIjULCv8I18XMh9_evIxLZkU6_U=/fwct/1560177559/9133_17894456204c3e0e9562464.jpgBadenyon fireplace https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo2970066.html https://photos.on-this.website/wm/AybORgOs-t_pR9ypi0oZXCHq4Qw=/fwct/1560177559/9133_13102509444a53a8ff001fb.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo2970082.html https://photos.on-this.website/wm/Mu7VEQ9r4G6d-_pSIoiWkqzqnWA=/fwct/1560177559/9133_15065338924a53aa0f249d6.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/the-last-goodbye https://photos.on-this.website/wm/J5TPp6n-JZ_0GrxRKBXwVG0zX_s=/fwct/1560177559/9133_86688084150f2e459c10bf.jpgThe last goodbye. https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/he-knew-the-start-of https://photos.on-this.website/wm/l1yWjXBPFBTfOgDhJNUWHGxrnJQ=/fwct/1560177559/9133_84205383350f2e43644df7.jpgHe knew the start of the decline was coming. https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/old-school-classroom https://photos.on-this.website/wm/0_JtRPqWUpIh5dttkHDyzjSX-Nc=/fwct/1560177559/9133_13483080314abf81f05ac6c.jpgOld School classroom https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo10954240.html https://photos.on-this.website/wm/XULhsu1lEQyxKZsRByt4H4b1MCM=/fwct/1560177559/9133_6710751664e0b2cb0ee032.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo2970056.html https://photos.on-this.website/wm/vYQJFUUkDZQgvaWOadx-a5BInwg=/fwct/1560177559/9133_11768495954a53a8145f205.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/beside-keiselguhr https://photos.on-this.website/wm/diqu4YQvCfnJHjLUhc41Lr9snTU=/fwct/1560177559/9133_8286969294e12d8108b2b9.jpgBeside Keiselguhr https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo38690699.html https://images.on-this.website/9133_15760738315cfe5ec8be74b.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo38690687.html https://images.on-this.website/9133_18192788865cfe5eab57b8b.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo38690715.html https://images.on-this.website/9133_4731192885cfe5ef1b1553.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo38690680.html https://images.on-this.website/9133_4926430565cfe5e9888d65.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/morven-lodge-cottage https://photos.on-this.website/wm/oYD2YN5brLBFrlnRDoNywvVqgZg=/fwct/1560177559/9133_20244971964a85bd2e61ad7.jpgMorven Lodge cottage https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/ruin-at-aldivalloch https://photos.on-this.website/wm/U0X-Aurk08KkU4LDR85fJGri5fg=/fwct/1560177559/9133_6612922114abf824b79bf0.jpgRuin at Aldivalloch https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo38690698.html https://images.on-this.website/9133_1790770085cfe5ec495b42.jpg https://www.jamesdyasdavidson.com/photo11118414.html https://photos.on-this.website/wm/FM5zYuMx0qeLO7I_FbBJC_qzziY=/fwct/1560177559/9133_15340653104e12d7eaa6156.jpgFriggie-Fraggen This place is called Friggie-Fraggen.
