Group with Kilmux farmhouse. Built at a cost of ?2,000 by James Blyth Fernie, agricultural improver, Kilmux was "the best steading in the parish" (NSA), and has long been regarded as a 'model' farm. Also mentioned in the NSA is "a thrashing machine, and .... two pairs of stones for grinding oats". Mr Fernie and Mr Anderson of Monthrive (sic) were also noted for using 'the frequent drain system' and the 'skeleton trenching plough' an invention improved upon by Henry Thallan, blacksmith, of nearby Smiddy-green. Kilmux House, walled garden and lodge house are all listed separately.
