NT 858 544 A programme of archaeological work was carried out, October 2015, on land E of Tofthill in advance of the construction of a new house on land E of Tofthill. The house was constructed on the site of Allanbank House, which was designed by David Bryce in the mid-19th century and

demolished in 1968. Historical records indicate that the 19th-century house replaced an earlier 17th/18th-century house and that prior to this it had been the location of East Nisbet Castle. The excavation of five trial trenches identified the remains of Allanbank House but nothing of the earlier structures.
