Hamilton's Land, 40-48 High Street, early 16th century
Town houses of the Hamiltons of Pardovan and Humbie restored, 1958, by the National Trust for Scotland as part of the Little Houses Scheme. Twin crowstepped gables to the street linked by a covered stairway rising between to the principal floor. Stone and pantile roofs. Projecting window margins of No 42-44 reveal it once was harled. The gable of the other has a doocot. No 46-48 retains a bread oven in the yard behind.
