Standing Building Recording (18 September 2017 - 20 September 2017)
NT 64115 75242 A programme of work undertaken, 18 – 20 September 2017, established that the site belongs to at least five broad phases of construction and subsequent alterations and use, dating from the 18th century to the first half of the 20th century. It identified two early thatched hinds’ cottages (W range) and two originally identical mid-19th-century improved cottages (E range), with the N cottage converted into a smithy, with ancillary implement shed attached. Although all of the structures are significantly altered, they retain, in their very fabric, a coherent record of past Lothian agricultural society and practices, as well as concomitant changes of Scottish agrarian society.
