Scope and Content Building to north of dairy, Corseyard Farm, Dumfries & Galloway Corseyard is an elaborate, early 20th-century, dairy farm on Knockbrex estate, 8.8km south of Gatehouse of Fleet. Corseyard is unique in that part of Scotland, not only as a model dairy unit of the period, but also because of the high standard of its architecture and quality of the finishings used. This shows one of the buildings which formed part of the steading consisting of stables, loosebox, harness room, cart sheds, barn, milking parlour and tower, all built round a square courtyard. It was built between 1911 and 1914 for James Brown, a wealthy Manchester cotton merchant, who bought the estate in 1895. The architecture of Corseyard would seem to have been inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement, a style popular between 1860 and 1925. The principle behind this movement against the dull buildings of an industrial age, was a desire for beauty and a return to skilled craftsmanship using fine materials.
