Full Description
The remains of a small two-compartmented house stands in a clearing of a wood. Only one gable-end and walls still stand. Traces of a 'hingin lum' survive on the gable. The interior is partly stone-filled from tumble with trees also growing in and on it. The gable end is covered in strong ivy growth. A track leads from the cottage to an old drove road which ran from Kinminity to Glencatt. It is known locally as 'the old woman's cottage'.
