Fig. 1. View of Both an Aird, northmost, near Loch na Cailleach, Aird 
<p>Mhor, Uig, Lewis, entire but deserted. Figs. 2 and 8, elevation and plan of 
ditto. One side is formed by native rock; in another are four milk-presses ; 
the firestead was between the two doors. The plan of this both is peculiar, 
the doors being at right angles to each other. 
Figs. 4, 5, and 6. Plan and elevations of Both an Aird, southmost, near 
last. This bo’ is still entire, and cased with turf. It stands at the steep face of a small brae, and the back is formed by the side of the hill: there is first a main chamber, 6 1/4 feet high under the farlos; next a smaller chamber, flat-roofed, 44 feet high at the centre; next, a small irregular chamber, 3 1/4 feet high, entered by a step 2 1/2 feet above the level of the ground. In the main chamber, a gap between two naturally-placed rocks is filled in behind 
to form a cuiltean or cupboard; a spindle-shaped stone, drawing in and out of a chink in the wall, showed where had been the fire. 
Fig. 7. Eastmost both, Ura, near Loch Thealasbhaidh, Uig, Lewis; a ruin, but the walls in some parts still 6 feet high; a porch, which was probably roofed, is formed by the extension of one of the side walls.
