The house was built for a mill-owner by Waddell (builders?), according to one of present occupants. The house was lived in by Provost Ballantyne. Photographs dating from circa 1920 (owned by one of occupants) show that the box-dormer to outer left of N elevation was present at this date. There are stylistic similarities of this design with those of Peddie and Kinnear, which might suggest that they may have been the architects of Dandswall.
