Macnabstone NS 475 008 NS40SE
This farmstead is situated on the W side of Loch Doon, 850m N of Beoch, in the area named 'Macnabstone'. It comprises what have probably been two rectangular buildings (16. 7m and 8.5m respectively in length within stone wall-footings) adjacent to an
enclosure and a possible kiln; what may be another building (3.3m by 2.3m within stone wall-footings) lies in the NW corner of the enclosure. Pont's map depicts the farmstead of 'Macknabston' and Armstrong's Map records 'McNabbs', but on Thomson's Map 'Beoch & McNabston' is recorded as a single farmstead.
