NT 6250 8090. A standing building recording survey was carried out by CFA Archaeology Ltd in April 2007. The proposed development comprises the alteration of Tyninghame Links Steading into a series of modern dwellings. The steading comprises a disused farmstead on a traditional courtyard plan, with a small L-shaped two-storey dwelling attached to the south-eastern corner. The steading dates from the early 19th century, with later 19th and 20th century modifications. These include the repairs and heightening of the roof and modifications to openings on both the external and the courtyard elevations.

NT 6250 8090 A enhanced standing building survey carried out at Tyninghame Links Steading has recorded the principal architectural features. The farm was built before 1824 and its general layout plan has remained little altered since the early 19th century. The farm was geared to livestock rearing and this is reflected in the formal layout of the buildings arranged around a courtyard. The three main large cattlesheds had arched openings leading out into two large crew yards. The arcades were blocked in the 20th century and by the mid-20th century the courtyard was covered by large steel-built cattle courts. The farmhouse is more or less contemporary with the rest of the buildings according to the historical cartographic evidence. The adjoining farmhouse has all the attributes of an estate property include fine ashlar stonework and gabled dormer windows with ball finials.
