This tithe barn stands about 100 yds N of Whitekirk Church (NT58SE 11). It is a three-storeyed building measuring 66ft E-W by 19ft transversely; its gables are crow-stepped. The W end of this building represents the remains of the tower built about 1540 by Oliver Sinclair with stone from the pilgrims' houses (see NT58SE 41); this was extended in the following century.
