Statement of Interest

A now rare example of a small farmhouse with its interior and outbuildings still surviving.

The previous listed building record (written in 1998) described the farmhouse with a stone slab roof and the rear barn with a thatched roof and linkstanes. In 2006 the Buildings at Risk Register for Scotland noted that the majority of these roof structures have been lost.

Listed building record revised in 2019 as part of the Thatched Buildings Listing Review 2017-19.
