history
The history of the hamlet is closely intertwined with the Phantassie House farm . This was built in the middle of the 18th century. In 1785 the Countess of Aberdeen sold the property to George Rennie . Rennie contributed to the optimization of agriculture and tried out advanced methods in imagination. His older brother, the eminent civil engineer John Rennie , completed an apprenticeship at the nearby Houston Mill and lived on the property. A baluster that Rennie designed for Waterloo Bridge in London is on display in the courtyard. Andrew Meikle , the inventor of the threshing machine, was employed by Phantassie House. The property is now looked after by the National Trust for Scotland . Like its pigeon tower , it is classified as a monument of the highest category A.
