Nothing is visible of this farmsteading, which stood between Provost Rust Drive to the N and Marchburn Drive to the S, in an area that is now a housing development. As depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Aberdeenshire, 1869, sheet lxxv) the farmsteading comprised an extensive collection of buildings, which included a mill fed from a pond lying immediately to the SW. The 2nd edition of the map (1902, sheet lxxv.NW) shows few changes to the overall layout of the steading.
