NS89NW 40.02 centred on NS 8347 9898 Park; Rig
The farmstead, house and park of Loss occupy the ridge between the Crunie and Loss Burns. The lower parts of Loss Hill have been enclosed by a stock-proof dyke and form a discrete area of parkland stocked with mature trees planted in the second half of the 18th century. The farmstead probably originates as a mid 18th century building, referred to as the 'Mansion House' (information from John Harrison), modified into a courtyard steading in the first half of the 19th century. Straight rigs, probably of 19th century date are visible within the area of enclosure.
