I can't tell you when that was built but I do have a couple of little bits of information. Just to make sure I am talking about the same house as you, I have attached a photo - I gather you mean the house in the front right of the picture. I have also attached an extract from a comment made in 1938 that indicates there was an even older house there before the 'long house'. I have looked on several old maps eg http://maps.nls.uk/view/101466452 that all show a house but don't indicate the age of the house. There is also an old photo from the John O Groat Journal in 1934 that seems to show your house but again no date. There is a photo of Ousdale in the Johnston Collection that unfortunately doesn't show any houses but is interesting- the reference for that is JN23012B026.
