Full Description
Remains of a farmstead, depicted on historic OS maps. Shown on the 1st edition OS map as an E-plan steading with attached horsemill, with three ranges to the east and smaller building with garden enclosure to the southeast. A horse mill is shown at the north west corner of the steadings. By the 2nd edition OS map, only two buildings and the garden enclosure remain. These two buildings survive today to wallhead height. Described in the Morayshire OS Name Book vol 8 (1868-1871) as follows: ' A medium sized Farmsteading the houses of which are all one storey and thatched it is situated about a mile South East from Lossiemouth and is the property of Captain Dunbar of Brander and Pitgavney'. The site was occupied until the 1970s. Photographic recording was carried out in January 2025 ahead of proposed replacement dwellings.
