Surely almost every person is overcome by desire to drop everything and move away, at least for a while, from civilization with all its blessings in a quiet place. Where you can be alone with nature and with your thoughts.





But there is a possibility not only to abstract from frantic pace of life, but also immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. This can be done in the Scottish village of Garenin, on the Isle of Lewis. It is also called the Black House Village.



Stone houses in the amount of nine pieces, covered with thatched roof, once served as a reliable shelter for the islanders, protecting them from storms and storms. The buildings were not only authentic yet durable.

There is one room in the house, which was heated by a hearth. Inside there were both people and animals. In the 50s, electricity appeared in houses and a water supply system, and in the 70s people left them to move to more comfortable and modern housing.





Naturally, the original corner was threatened with inevitable destruction. But the authorities decided to use the opportunity for the good of the country and give the village a chance.

After large-scale reconstruction work in 1989, stone the houses were given back their uniqueness, originality and attractiveness. AND were rented out to tourists. Gives a touching atmosphere information about the family that once lived in a particular house. Data written on tablets.





















Would you like to live in a place where time is frozen, and instead of the hustle and bustle of everyday life, only the breath of the ocean and simple beauty traditional?
