Scope and Content Aerial view of Kilchiaran Farm, Kilchiaran, Islay, Argyll & Bute The house and steading of Kilchiaran date from 1826 when a new farm with an Ayrshire tenant was established following the clearance of the old township of Kilchiaran. Its most distinctive feature is a semicircular inner cattle court about 58m in diameter. This is an aerial view from the west. The east block (top) connected to the semicircular courtyard has been partly rebuilt in comparatively recent times to serve as a milking parlour while the west block (bottom) retains traditional stabling facilities The unusual layout of the steading and cattle court can clearly be seen in this view. The buildings throughout are constructed of lime-mortared rubble masonry comprising local igneous rock and slate. They are mostly hip-roofed and covered with local slates.
