South Balluderon Farm
The South Balluderon Farm is a farm near the Scottish village Tealing in the Council Area Angus . In 1989 the structure was included in the Scottish monument lists in the highest monument category A.
history
During the 1790s, the Balluderon property was divided into a northern and a southern part. Probably in the later years of the same decade, the South Balluderon Farm was built on the southern part. From about 1870, the Mount South family owned Balluderon. With the death of George C. Mount in 1949, the use of the homestead ended. Although individual buildings were added over the centuries, the owners decided against the motorization of agriculture until the end, so that numerous historical structures and devices are still present. A design for a new homestead in Balluderon from 1821 is very likely to refer to North Balluderon.
description
The South Balluderon Farm is about three kilometers west of Tealing and east of Kirkton of Auchterhouse . The facility, built on a gentle slope, has an almost square floor plan. The extension on the south side dates from the later 19th century. The masonry of the two- to three-story building consists of quarry stone , with details and corner stones made of natural stone . On the north side there are straw, hay, beet and grain stores as well as stables with two enclosures. On the west side is the former mill, in which numerous original fixtures have been preserved. It was driven by a mill canal that supplied a cast-iron overshot water wheel in an attached building. The threshing mill used the threshing machine patented by George Meikle in 1788. The wagon shed is on the east side. The buildings are partly covered with slate, corrugated iron or bitumen. Various openings in the building are arched in segments.
