Full Description
Farmstead, still in use, depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition shows two rectangular buildings arranged in an L-plan, with a pond and sluice on the northeast side. By the time of the 2nd edition the buildings had been extended to form a U-plan range and another small building had been added to the north. A farmhouse to the southeast was added later. A standing building survey was carried out by MAS in February 2014 prior to proposed demolition. The buildings, which include a mill and house, are typical of Aberdeenshire improvement steadings, probably dating from the first half of the 19th century.
