Scope and Content A ruined creeper covered house with a lawn and a sunken garden before it and with trees behind. There is a sunken path in the foreground before the urn on a pedestal at the corner on the gravel path beside the shrubs. The building is an empty shell standing to first floor window sills; the windows have wooden lattices. A wooden door fills the doorway below the crest in the centre of the facade. A row of benches sits on the grass before the building. Gask House was an Oliphant property, it was the birthplace of Carolina Oliphant (1766-1845), the songwriter. The Gask Ridge, just behind the house, is notable for the Roman road which connects a line of wooden watch towers of 1st to 2nd century AD.
