Scope and Content Interior of stable, Corseyard Farm, Dumfries & Galloway Corseyard is a remarkable, early 20th-century, dairy farm on Knockbrex estate, 8.8km south of Gatehouse of Fleet. It was built for James Brown, a wealthy cloth merchant from Manchester. It is unique in south-west Scotland, not only as a model dairy unit of the period but also for its elaborate architecture. These wooden trevises (partitions) and the panelling lining the walls show the unusually high quality of the internal finishings in these steadings and the attractive materials used. The stable's spaciousness and the regularity of its windows emphasise the importance of light and air in 20th-century animal husbandry. Dairy farming was firmly established in the south-west of Scotland by the end of the 18th century. High quality milk, butter and cheese were produced for sale in the growing urban centres of central Scotland. The expertise gained by these farmers was used to develop dairy farming in other parts of Britain. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
