Field Visit (October 1988)

'Ballochyle House', a plain two-storeyed building of about 1800, stands on the W side of Kirk Street immediately NW of the parish church, occupying a site which had belonged to the Campbells of Ballochyle since the 17th century. Measuring 12.2m by 6.8m over all, it is built of rendered rubble with offset sandstone dressings and quoins and a slated roof. The three-bay NE street-facade has a central double door and a two-light SE window, with a moulded stringcourse marking the upper floor. The interior was latterly divided into a shop and flats, but was disused and ruinous at the date of survey.

RCAHMS 1992, visited October 1988
