Boghead

The home of the Robertson-Durham family, demolished 1962, leaving a lodge, with a hood-moulded window, and a roofless rectangular doocot. It was on this estate that Torbanehill cannel coal was first mined by Paraffin Young for extracting mineral oil. Whiteside was the site of Paraffin Young's first oil refinery in 1851.
