2The Croft House (Scotland)

The croft houses of Scotland’s Outer Hebrides are emblematic of a bygone era, when people lived simple, isolated lives in the harsh conditions of the Scottish Highlands.

Many croft houses have been abandoned, but some, like this one, stand as silent monuments to solitude, set against the dramatic backdrop of rolling hills and stormy seas.
Why it’s lonely: Set in a desolate, windswept landscape, with miles of uninhabited land between it and the nearest village.
