In More Detail

Uphouse is set in approximately 0.2 hectares.  To access the property proceed into the Village of Walls keep on the A971 and head up to the top of the Hill then drive to the right continuing until you see the sign Setter, drive up the Setter Road, and take the first access track on the left and follow it to the property.

Walls and District is still a crofting community. The main road west to Walls (pronounced Waas) passes through the middle of the district but, to get a feel for the area, it’s essential to head off down one of the many side roads. There’s no obvious touring route and so it helps to take a good map.

The nearby Village of Walls has amenities which include Shop/Post Office, Marina, Village Hall, Happyhansel Primary School and a Care Home.

The voes are ideal for yachting and canoeing. Modern marinas at Walls, Aith and Skeld reserve berths for visiting sailors and the annual regattas are major social events. Like the Skeld Sheepdog Trials and the Walls Agricultural Show, these usually include a concert and dance where visitors are welcome. In summer several village halls offer Sunday teas - terrific value with home-baking and a chance to meet local people.
