This planned village evolved during the age of improvement, the village square being laid out on the axis of the church by Sir Archibald Grant in 1816. The centre of the square formed a cattle pound for drovers and the original houses were of clay-bonded stone thatched woth heather. The village was almost entirely rebuilt in the 19th century and gradually tudorised by Sir Arthur Grant between 1889 and 1902.
