Windows in outer bays made into bipartites, possibly circa 1840-60, to judge by horizontal glazing pattern surviving top left.
Pair plain, 5-sided dormers. Skews; end stacks. Wings added; low wings on 2 levels recessed on right hand (north) gable, full-height rear wing also at north; semi-circular centre staircase projection at rear. Long and low range of OUTBUILDINGS, also 18th century, part roofless. Pair ashlar GATEPIERS at entrance to driveway, panelled, and corniced; plain iron gates.
Rev Perter Rae (1671-1748) is best known as an early provincial printer, as author of a contemporary histoy of the 1715 Rising, and as author of the 'Rae ms' (copy in Ewart Library, Dumfries). For Rae, see references in PSAS 115, 1985, p. 438 note 2.
