Eastend House. The oldest visible part of this building, claimed to have more ancient nucleus, is a simple, probably early 16th century keep of coursed rubble, rising three storeys to a crenellated parapet with open rounds at the corners. To this, tall crowstepped wings were added on east and west in 1673, and these in turn were joined up on the south by a typical 18th century bow-fronted addition completely obscuring the keep on that side. In the late 19th century large 'Scottish Baronial' extensions were added on the west.
Only the north front and part of the east side of the tower are now visible.
The property has belonged to the Carmichaels of Eastend from an early date.
N Tranter 1970.
