Field Visit (15 August 2014)
NO 17232 22920 Thatched cottage located at the entrance to the road leading to Balthayock House and Balthayock Castle. The cottage is square in plan with a pyramidal thatched roof and a central chimney stack. The roof is hooded over the ground floor window openings and is projected above the entrance door, acting as an awning. The thatch directly below the chimney stack has been raised and scobed decoratively using hazel spars, as well as the small ridge of the projected entrance awning. These raised and scobed sections of thatch have been netted whilst the rest of the thatch has been left uncovered. There are some loose pieces of thatch in places, however, this is not extensive.
