Archaeology Notes

NM62SW 9 61671 24835.

For farmsteading, of which this building is now part, see also NM62SW 11.

(NM 61671 24835) Old Lochbuie House: Within the court of offices that stands 50m E of the present mansion (NM62SW 8) there is incorporated the shell of the old house of Lochbuie, erected in 1752. As first built this was a free-standing oblong block of two storeys measuring about 14.2m in length and 6.8m in width over walls some 0.8m in thickness. The building has been very much altered, but the original arrangement appears to have been typical of that of a small laird's house of the period. An inscribed stone panel over the former entrance records that the house was occupied by the MacLeans of Lochbuie from 1752 to 1793. The interior is now featureless.
