Humbie Farm was originally founded on a nearby site; the lands of Humbie being then part of the Hopetoun Estates. 18th century maps show a rectangular-plan house and enclosed steading. The present walled garden and dovecot (listed separately) date from the 18th century house. By the first edition the present house and steading are well established. The farmsteading was built in 1827 and altered slightly in 1888. Humbie cottages were built in 1843 as 3 separate cottages, but were combined to form a single E-plan range in 1903. The steading, Humbie cottages and Humbie dovecot are listed separately. The lands of Humbie were tenanted by George Reid agricultural improver in the 18th century.
