These cottages, possibly weavers' houses, in Montgomery Street are typical of the single storey cottages in Eaglesham. The steep pitched roofs indicate that they were once thatched. Rowanlea Cottage on the left (formerly two cottages tacked in 1791) has a door lintel inscribed with a horseshoe above a five-bar gate.
