NT14NE 19 17458 49638.
(NT 1745 4964) Halmyre is said to have been erected by the Tweedies of Drumelzier, who held the property in the 16th and early 17th centuries. Some parts of the building evidently date from this period, but the greater part is of 19th century date, the house having been extensively remodelled in 1856. Part of the earlier building remains on the ground floor of the main block, where there is a vaulted undercroft, with external walls 3'3" thick. The old house appears to have measured 60' x 23'6" overall.
