This farm is in record from 1689, and is doubtless much older. Smith (1939, 120) illustrates a lintel stone dated 1704. A housing scheme was built on the land in 1946-8 and the house demolished c1955.
Proudfoot and Hannah 2000
Nothing is visible of this house, which was demolished about 1955, and its site is now occupied by modern houses (Bush Road). The house is depicted on a mid-18th century estate map (Foulis 1758-9), at which time Bush Farm was owned by a Mr Wallace, and on a later estate map, as two building and a probably corn drying kiln (May 1781). A contemporary inventory describes the buildings in detail (May et al c.1782). The 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Buteshire 1869, Sheet CCIV) depicts the house as a long building, orientated NW and SE, and set within a large garden approached via a driveway from the W. The 2nd edition of the 25-inch map (1897, Sheet CCIV.6) shows that by the end of the 19th century two ranges, one with a horse-engine adjacent to its SE side, had been built immediately E of the house.
