Originally associated with the Duke of Roxburgh's Old Shooting Lodge which, prior to its demolition in the late 1980s, was situated to its SE. According to the Ordnance Survey Name Book, compiled in the 1850s for Longformacus Parish, the shooting lodge was a "...large and substantially-built dwelling house with a thatched roof, carriage houses, stabling and other offices; also a small farm steading and newly-built herds' cottages." Despite its replacement roof, the remaining cottage has retained traditional details such as its sash and case windows, boarded timber doors and overhanging eaves. Owned by Roxburgh Estates.
