By the early 19th Century, the site contained two groups of buildings ? one to the seaward side operated as a rope making business, while the manufacture of sails took place within the eastern range, adjacent to the house and cottages. The ropeworks fell into decline and were lost to the sea; the former sail making factory, house and cottages survived. After the Sail Making Loft closed, the cottages continued to be lived in and one of them may have been a dairy.</p><p>Now fully restored, the buildings include self-catering accommodation for up to 25 visitors, a fully accessible bedroom and bathroom and communal kitchen and lounge areas. The total facility will be open to view.</p><p><strong>PLEASE NOTE THAT DISABLED ACCESS IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO THE GROUND FLOOR</strong></p><p><em><a href="http://portsoysailloft.org/">http://portsoysailloft.org/</a></em></p><p><em>?</em></p> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 18th century
