OS 6" map (1913)
Waygateshaw. The present buildings comprise a 16th century tower reduced in height, a 17th century wing and a modern block with outbuildings and domestic offices, the whole forming a hollow square, the centre being occupied by a small courtyard. The old tower, which stands at the NW angle of the existing building, was originally surrounded by the usual barmekin, or curtain-wall of which a small portion still remains.
N Tranter 1935
Waygateshaw (Miss Willis, owner) is correctly described by Tranter; it is still in use as a private residence. 120m north of the house there is a late 17th century lean-to-type dovecot in poor condition, the north and south walls being cracked, allowing the west wall to lean outwards.
