| The original heather thatch was still under the tin roof when Mrs Wilson
took over the Wee Bush in 1986. This shows the tin cladding being removed
at the start of the rebuild in the winter of 1987. View Image>> |

| The old roof timbers had to come down to be replaced during the winter
rebuild. The Wee Bush had been known as the "Hen's Balks" in the
19th century because the chickens used to roost in these rafters! View Image>> |
