Gartsherrie Township: Derelict rows of worker's cottages which were roofless and stonebuilt. There was a truck shop and cottages at the works entrance. There were surviving offices and a derelict Institute extant on the date of Hume's visit. These buildings were constructed by William Baird and Company in connection with their large ironworks. The demolition of all buildings (except the offices) had taked place by the Summer of 1969.
Visited and photographed by J R Hume, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, 3 January 1966.
