Field Visit (1 June 1928)
The Manor House, Kirkland.
According to local information, this house was built as a temporary residence, by David, fourth Earl of Wemyss, while boring for coal in the neighbourhood. It is a plain featureless building of the late 17th or early 18th century, consisting of an oblong main block, two storeys and a garret in height, with a small central wing projecting to the north, and containing the entrance. From each gable projects a low wing. The gables are crow-stepped, and the masonry is harled, the chamfered and back-set window dressings being exposed.
