Barracks farmhouse and farmsteading is depicted roofed on the 1st edition of the 6-inch OS map (Linlithgowshire, 1855, sheet 9). It is shown as an L-shaped steading with separate house with garden to the S. The depiction of the steading shows evidence of a horse-engine house on its W side. The OS Name Book states 'this is a small farm steading with dwelling house of one storey and garden attached, occupied by Mr Robert Gibson, the Earl of Rosebery is proprietor (ONB 1855). It is shown on Johnston's County map, but it is not depicted on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 scale map (1992).
