📌 Lairg, Highland
★
On an islet a few dozen metres out into Little Loch Shin, keen-eyed passers-by will be greeted by the sight of Lairg’s tiniest house. The architects kept things simple: whitewashed walls, two windows, two chimney stacks and a big red door. It’s clearly not large enough for serious human habitation (even as a holiday home in these times of overtourism!) but an elaborate tale posted on a signboard on the mainland nevertheless describes the history of inhabitant Jock Broon and his very large family – which has been enough to fool a number of news outlets over the years, including the BBC.
