Lufra Cottage is thought to have been built by the Duke of Buccleuch to accommodate his boatsman when he was in residence at the adjacent Lufra House, which was his boating lodge. Both buildings are named after the Duke's yacht, The Lufra (the built in cupboards in one of the front rooms are said to have been taken from the yacht). Of particular interest for its historical associations.
