The former Ratho Villa has been identified from oblique aerial views (RCAHMSAP 2010), immediatey W of St Mary's Church.
The building is annotated as 'Ratho Villa' on the 1st Edition of the OS 25-inch map (Edinburghshire, 1852), and all subsequent 25-inch Editions. The current OS digital map annotates the building as 'Kirktonhill' and shows a different ground plan to that of the earlier OS editions.
