Garlet.
Beside some cottages a quarter of a mile east of Kilbagie Station there is a 17th-century laird's house of pleasing proportions. It is oblong on plan measuring externally 41 feet 8 inches by 19 feet 4 inches, and is two storeys and a garret high. The central portion of the front, which is set slightly forward, is corniced above the entrance and terminates in a gable. Between the two central first-floor windows is a space for a panel which has, however, been removed to Kennet House. The masonry is of rubble, harled; voids, wall-heads and quoins have dressed margins. The main gables are crow-stepped and the roof is pantiled. The entrance is a moulded doorpiece with lugged architrave. The back elevation is concealed by 'outshots.' On the west gable is a mutilated gate-pier of Renaissance design.
