Scope and Content There is no mention in the listed building description for this former farmhouse (circa 1790-1800) of any thatched roof, however, the listing description notes read ‘at Midtown of Cairneywhing nearby former house with thatch over pantiles; gutted, chimneys removed’. It is unclear whether this is referring to the listing entry (circled below), or another building. Access to view the building could not be gained when visited, however the building that is in the location of the one that is listed appears to have no thatch when viewed from web-based satellite imagery, neither do any of the nearby farm buildings.
