'Quarter' or 'quarterland' is an old Scots division of land (in Gaelic ceathramh), equivalent to eight fourpennylands or a quarter of an ounceland, which was itself was an eighth of a markland. A markland was an area of land for which the annual rent was one mark (worth about 13s 4d). To the right of the farm road runs the Cross Water of Luce.
