What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.
Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to [email protected]
Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to [email protected]
Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to [email protected]

It was apparently abandoned for good only come 1930.
The NTS has improved the Village over the years. "They have reroofed [some of] the cottages on the main street, restored the church, and restacked stones that years of gales had toppled from the cleits, or bothies, that dot the volcanic landscape", according to a November 2017 report.[42] One cottage, #3 on "The Street", was more extensively restored and turned into the museum.[43][44]
