NO 6511 8608 A standing building recording of this well built estate farm steading was undertaken on 17 September 2009 prior to conversion. The main block comprised a large quadrangular steading of mid-19th-century date around an open yard. In the early 20th century the S range was removed and the yard in-filled with extra cattle accommodation. The N range had some surviving evidence of a former mill and threshing barn. The E range retained cart bays and farm workers’ accommodation. There is a second freestanding cattle byre of mid-19th-century date and a late 19th- to early 20th-century smithy with the forge and bellows in situ. A

small mid-19th-century building is interpreted as a washhouse with a circular hearth below traces of a hanging lum. A large cast iron pot made in the Carron ironworks and c550mm in diameter with a spout appears to have been a boiler used on the hearth.
