A largely complete and relatively unaltered typical Orkney steading, characteristic because of its length. Features of interest to note include the existence of the Caithness stone roof and the ball-finialled outbuildings. Its name possibly derives from the Old Norse word, botn, meaning 'situated at the bottom of a glen'.
