Full Description
Site of a farmstead depicted on the 1st edition OS map as a compact C-shaped building with the court open to the south. To the south is a compact rectangular building and a smaller building. By the 2nd edition OS map the buildings have been extended and the C-shaped building has a horse-mill attached to the west range. The 2006 map shows that all the buildings have been removed. Site visit by SUAT in 2001 as part of a study of monastic granges noted no visible evidence of this being a grange. Apart from the place name there appears to be no other documentary evidence to a Grange of Lour (only to barony of Lour and Grange of Kyncreff) to suggest that this might be the site of a grange.
