Originally lodge to Panmuir Villa, latterly known as Armistead Child Development Centre (Historic Environment Scotland List Entry)
Prior to 1930 Panmure Villa was owned by James Smieton who ran the Panmure Works in Carnoustie, est 1857, who had a reputation for providing facilities for his workers, including a Literary Institute. The site was purchased by the Trustees of Lord Armistead for utilisation as a convalescent home for children in 1930. The building was extended by Thoms & Wilkie architects and opened as Armitstead Convalescent Home for Children in 1932. In 1948 the unit became a children's home, Armitstead Children's Hospital.
