description
The exact construction time of the building has not been recorded, but Historic Scotland puts the completion around the year 1880. The multi-wing building was built in a traditional way. The main wing is two-story and runs in a south-westerly direction. Two connected, short wings with gable roofs emerge at the front . The main wing also ends with a slate-covered gable roof. All facades are plastered using the traditional Harling technique. A one-story wing, which was added later, extends from the rear. In the north there are various separate outbuildings, some of which have gable roofs, but also hipped roofs .
