Statement of Interest

Marked on the 1906 OS map as 'Windy Ha'. Empty 1999. An unusually-detailed lodge set to the S of Olrig House, itself dating from the earlier 19th century with some modification by David Bryce between 1859-61 (see separate list entry). Details of particular note at the lodge include its corbelled turrets, crowstepped gables and prominent stacks. The 1872 OS map shows an earlier property on site to the NW (no longer in place 1906).
