NO 3854 1396 Analytical was assessment undertaken on 16 November 2006 in order to inform plans for the redevelopment of this formally planned steading complex of c1800. Though conceived as an architectural set-piece to be viewed from Tarvit House to the NW (now demolished), including a monumental two-storied NW frontage with pedimented central entrance and stone spire above, the rear ranges of this complex were much

more simply designed, utilitarian structures.

Although the complex is essentially complete there were a number of subsequent modifications. Of note was later masonry fabric in the SW range that incorporates reused stones of castellated classical detail (perhaps from Tarvit House). The stables interior in the SW range, though damaged, remains a notable survival. The two-storied pavilion at the W angle saw conversion as a cottage in the mid-late 19th century.
