The drill hall recorded here by Osborne (2006) still survives. The front block is of two storeys and three bays, with a wide but low round-headed door. Behind is a six-bay hall.
In 1914 the hall was base for "C" Company, 4th battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers.
The building appears on the 3rd epoch 1:2500 map of the village (surveyed 1908) but not on the 2nd epoch (surveyed 1895).
The building is still in use as a community centre and has some 1960s additions.
