NT 68232 61827 A standing building survey was undertaken, 21 October 2016, of the former stable block in advance of its renovation. Cranshaws Farm Steading was constructed between 1826 and 1862 to the NE of the

ruins of Cranshaws Castle, which dates from the 14th/16th centuries. It was built as a self-contained courtyard steading accompanied by a large farmhouse to the SW, and consists of four distinct blocks, including at least two stable blocks and other barns. Later conversions to cow byres also took place within the stable buildings, but the original ventilation windows to the westernmost block still survive intact.
