Probably William Atkinson, circa 1820. Classical, 2-storey
small mansion house. All pink ashlar; mostly sash windows
with 12-pane glazing. Principal north and south elevations
are treated differently, but each has symmetrical front, with
bays at east recessed/stepped down. North (entrance)
elevation 3-bays, narrow inner bay recessed, with roof
carried over, round-headed doorway wide 2-leaf door and
small-pane fanlight probably not original. South elevation 5
bays with additions to east, inner bay advanced and
pedimented with steps to tripartite (?former door) at ground
in shallow segmental-arched panel; ground floor north west
room (drawing room) has canted window either elevation
inserted circa 1860. West elevation 3 bays; low wing and
court to east. Continuous 1st floor cill band; cornice;
stacks with block cornices; slated roofs, mostly piended,
with platform.
Formerly used by Drumlanrig estate factor.
Plans of circa 1860, 1882 and 1944 all presumably indicate
work was done then.
Conceivably, Atkinson provided the north front by deepening
and enlarging an earlier house the style of whose south front
suggests the hand of James Playfair
