Field Visit (1999)
This farmstead formerly had an open, rectangular plan but it has now been partially demolished and a new cow shed has been added. The detached range originally incorporated a barn, granary and a kiln. Other structures include a workshop, generator house, a hen house, workers cottages and a substantial farmhouse with a garden. The farmstead remains in use. Ref.: RCAHMS & NMS (1998) 'Scottish Farm Buildings Survey', #6.
