Statement of Interest

Possibly originally a 3-bay cottage and workshop, hence the off-centre stack, or a pair of terraced cottages, and may have been associated with the lime quarry to the E which was disused by 1864 (see 1st edition OS map). One of the few surviving examples of thatched buildings in Clydesdale, most of which retain their thatch beneath secondary coverings. Other examples include Douglashall, Carluke Parish, thatched building at Duinsyre Road, Newbigging, Biggar Parish and 35 Chapel Street, Carluke, all listed separately.
