Gearrannan Blackhouses, Isle of Lewis Limited Edition Print
Gearrannan Blackhouses, Isle of Lewis limited edition print has been created from an original painting by Emily Ward, a local North East artist. Emily has transferred her delightful painting onto a print which can be purchased framed or unframed.
Emily has painted this rustic thatched traditional house by the side of the Atlantic coast. The unspoilt dramatic landscape of the Isle of Lewis has been captured on this art print of the Blackhouse on the Outer Hebrides.
The warming blues and purple of the wild heather add a warmth of colour to this limited edition print.

Gearrannan Blackhouses, Isle of Lewis
The design and construction of the blackhouses
dates back thousands of years. Traditionally humans and cattle shared the same thatched dwelling. The blackhouses on the Isle of Lewis were modified to withstand the tough environment of the Outer Hebrides. They had low rounded roofs which were roped for security from the strong Atlantic winds. Thick walls provided insulation.
