OS 6" map, (1959)

Keltie is a small laird's house, the date 1600 over the doorway agreeing with the general style, but possibly incorporating earlier work. It is an L-shaped building with an unusual turret corbelled out on the east gable with five shot-holes. There are other shot-holes elsewhere and a stout iron grille over a first-floor window.

It is in excellent condition.
