Lochurd Farm is described in the Name Book (ONB 1858-61) as a "well built farm house two storeys high with excellent offices, thrashing mill and farm attached". It is depicted as a grouping of five roofed buildings in a square setting on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Peeblesshire 1864, sheet vii). Air photographs (RCAHMSAP 1995) and the current 1:10000 map sheet (1992) show that three additional buildings have been added to the farm.
