Activities

Field Visit (9 February 1921)

The fine entrance gate-piers still remain in situ. They are contemporary with the present south front of the house, which was embellished by Tarbat in 1696, and probably superseded the plainer entrance gate adjacent. The iron gates are said to have been removed to Gogar House (NT17SE 9) and thence to Sauchieburn in Stirling.

RCAHMS 1929, visited 9 February 1921.

Photographic Survey (January 1966)

Photographic survey by the Scottish National Buildings Record/Ministry of Work in January 1966.
