Meikle Kilmory is a working farmsteading comprising a mixture of 19th century agricultural buildings and modern sheds, none of which has been recorded in detail. Kilmory Castle, which stands on its N side, is recorded elsewhere (see NS06SE 10).
‘Meickle Killmorey’ is depicted on Roy’s Military Map (1747-55) and ‘Meikle Killmory’ is shown on a late-18th century estate map (May c.1780). The 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Buteshire 1869, Sheet CCIV) depicts four buildings and ranges here, as well as a garden immediately E and an enclosure directly S. One of the buildings, probably the S range, must have incorporated a water-wheel, powered via a lade from a pond 130m to the E. A new farmhouse, which was constructed in the late 19th century, is depicted on the 2nd edition of the 25-inch OS map (Buteshire 1897, Sheet CCIV. 13).
