HP5705 : Ruined croft at the Westing HP5705 : Ruined croft at Gossa Water - A croft is not, as many people think, a house but instead a relatively small agricultural land holding which is normally held in tenancy and which may or may not have buildings or a house associated with it. Crofting is a system of landholding unique to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. For more detailed information see http://www.crofterscommission.org.uk/What-is-Crofting.asp
