Kirkton Of Monymusk, Gloie's Farmsteading

NJ 68127 15070 An evaluation was carried out 16 August–6 October 2010 on 1.5ha, previously part of Monymusk Estate, to be developed for housing. Extensive rig and furrow cultivation marks were seen over the area. In the SE of the area postholes were recorded, which proved to be part of the 19th-century farmyard boundary. A standing building survey of Kirkton of Monymusk Mill and Gloie’s Farm was undertaken. The mill was originally built in the mid-18th century and was extensively altered and added to in the late 19th century when the current millwheel was added. Gloie’s Farm was originally built in the 18th century as a lint mill and

then added to and converted to a mill in the late 19th century. The gablet above the original E entrance shows inscriptions with the dates and initials of SAG 1749 and SAHG 1899 (Sir Archibald Grant and Sir Archibald H Grant).
