Scope and Content Workers' Cottages, Guisachan, Highland, from south-south-west Dating from 1860, this huge courtyard steading was designed by A & W Reid & Mackenzie for Lord Tweedmouth who bought Guisachan estate from William Fraser of Culbokie in 1854. Guisachan House is now a ruin, but the farm, which includes a picturesque dairy, and the model village of Tomich, are still standing. This shows a pair of single-storeyed, workers' cottages with an irregular six-bayed frontage. They were designed by A & W Reid in 1875 and are made of grey rubble with tooled ashlar dressings. The windows are four- and eight-paned while there are attic windows in the gables, plus skylights in the roof. These cottages were designed as a single ground and attic room dwelling for a grieve (farm overseer or steward) at the north end, and at the south end a kitchen and large dining room for farm servants with the cook's accommodation above.
