There is a roofed barn, threshing machine and horse engine at Ballcorach farmsteading on the east side of the River Avon. The barn has been converted into a bothy and on the date of visit was being used as an office for the Tomintoul and Glenlivet Landscape Partnership. A threshing machine survives in-situ, inside the bothy and there is graffiti written across the long, south-west side and a little on the south-east end. The graffiti includes initials written in oil, probably used to lubricate the threshing machine. In addition there is pencil handwriting in copper plate style, which includes ‘John MacGregor Balcorrach 1892’. More recent writing, on the end of the machine and on the partially hidden north-east side, includes records of New Year parties. For example, ‘Peter Welch 2008/9’, is hand written in pencil.
