Knockan
The House that
Black built

History doesn’t only happen on a world stage. It
reverberates through nations and communities right down to families and
individuals, becoming embedded in attitudes, philosophies, beliefs and
lifestyles of succeeding generations. But these also get embodied in the
physical landscape, remaining long after the people have gone. The ‘house
that Black built’ is the DNA and fingerprints left on the Ardtun scene
by 200 years of world events.
