Mid House is a house on the island of North Ronaldsay in East North Yard townland, 50m southwest of Garsow Loch. The name of the croft may have been because it was built mid way between the earlier crofts of Conglabist and the Brae of Breck.
The house was built in the early 1800s.[1]
The croft was mentioned in the following records:
| Year | Source | Person |
|---|---|---|
| 1841 | Census | Hugh Muir, his wife Sibella, mother-in-law Mary Tulloch, a relative (possibly nephew) Hugh Muir, and niece Mary Tulloch (daughter of Sibella's sister Elizabeth) |
| 1851 | Census | Hugh Muir, his wife Sibella, mother-in-law Mary Tulloch, neice Mary Tulloch and Eliza Tulloch |
| 1893 | Sheep Apportionment | Hugh Muir; 5 sheep[2] |

" there was a major shipwreck, that of the East India trader, “Grevinde Schlemningen” on 20th December 1781 on North Ronaldsay . Of the total North Ronaldsay population of somewhere around 400 people, at least eight different men called Thomas TULLOCH were among the local residents who rallied and helped to salvage and guard the cargo in the ensuing months. They were from the houses of Westness, Longar, Midhouse (2 x Thomas) and Sennes at the north end of North Ronaldsay; and from Gerback (now Gerbo) and Gravity on the east coast.
