Williamston House, Colpy, 1825, Alexander Fraser. Smart classical laird's house, harled with pronounced granite dressings (including two bands) and piended roof; two storeys, five bays with porch of granite columns. Two, two-window, single-storey wings with conspicuous gables added. A modified Grecian surprise within a renowned garden (which was destroyed by the great gale of 1953 and triumphantly rebuilt). Wings 1850. Contemporary Home Farm is a quadrangular harled courtyard with subdued doocot tower.
