description
The property is on the southern edge of Dornock north of the opening of the Esk to the Solway Firth . The buildings were created in several construction phases. An early classicist farmhouse, which was built in 1700 and 1730, served as the nucleus . Further construction activities essentially extended over the 18th century. The farm was given up around 1950.
The stonework at Dornoch House consists largely of reddish rubble ; partly brick was also used. Originally it was four axes wide, but two more axes were added in the middle of the 18th century. The entrance door is made as a round arch portal with a keystone . The architrave is ornamented with leaf motifs. The interior has largely fallen apart. The original open fireplace has been preserved on the ground floor. This is followed by barns, the openings of which are partly made with segmental arches . The roofs are covered with slate.
