Statement of Interest

A good late 19th century clubhouse, prominently positioned close to the heart of Newcastleton. It was designed by the Duke of Buccleuch's architect, presumably James Burnet Buildings of Scotland attribution. Burnet was a Langholm-based architect whose known works are predominantly churches and schools. He died in 1898, making this a late work if it is indeed by him. The clubhouse is not shown on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey map (1896-8). Newcastleton Village was laid out from 1793 by Henry, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch, to his own plan, as a centre for handloom weaving.
