(NT 40035 62476). Crichton House is a 17th century dwelling of three storeys and a garret. A very plain structure, it is L-shaped on plan, with the main block, 46 1/2' x 22 1/4', running N-S and the wing, 19 1/2' x 22', projecting W in alignment with the main S gable. From the re-entrant angle there projects a semi-octagonal tower to contain the main staircase and original entrance, now disused and bricked-up. The main block has been extended to the S. It is still occupied and in excellent repair. On the sill of a second-floor window facing S is a projection carrying a bronze sundial. RCAHMS 1929, visited 1914
