Cothill farm was once part of the Marchmont Estate and is situated near the eastern end of the Marchmont Avenue. The farm buildings probably date from the late eighteenth or nineteenth century.
The Ordnance Survey name book, compiled in the mid-nineteenth century by the surveyors producing the 1st edition map, records that the farmhouse was 'comfortable' and that it was named after the nearby dovecot, which is situated at the very end of Marchmont Avenue.
