(NT 04176 69939) The present farm-house of Knightsridge was built in 1831. The former building stood fully 100 yds NE. Evidently there was a mansion here, Sibbald stating in 1710 that it was inhabited by a cadet of Douglas of Pumpherston. The name, mentioned in 1606, probably originated from a portion of land here having belonged to the Knights of St John, at Torphichen.

There is no evidence of the former building. No further information.
