Full Description
Farmstead, still in use, depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition shows a U-plan steading, open to the east, with a long building on the east side of the court, an attached horsemill on the outside of the west range, two other buildings to the south, and two to the north, the easternmost with an attached garden to the north. By the time of the 2nd edition, the steading court had been largely infilled, and further additions made to the south incorporating or replacing the existing buildings. A new square plan building has been added south of the steading. Further alterations and additions have since been made. This has been suggested as the possible site of a grange of Arbroath Abbey (NO64SW0018), There is reference to a Grange de Connan in a document of 1588-9 and to Grange de Connane in 1608. The nearby chapel of St Vigeans (NO54SE0001) may have functioned as the chapel for the grange. Site visit by SUAT in 2001 noted no visible remains.
