AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by the National Trust for Scotland to undertake a detailed measured, written and photographic survey of a row of single storey cottages currently incorporating the Angus Folk Museum in Glamis, Angus. The work included a detailed measured survey, written and photographic record of the building and was undertaken in January 2014. Kirkwynd Cottages were built in the late 18th century for the estate workers for the Strathmore Estate and consist of six single-storey cottages, of varying sizes, in stone rubble build with a stone slate roof. They were acquired by the Trust in the late 1950s where the roof was replaced, although the traditional stone slate roof was kept. They now consist of 16 discrete museum rooms with a stone flagged floor and a false ceiling, the original hearth areas mostly still in place, mainly along the north walls.
