The building stands beside a road that is part of a route from Old Kilpatrick to Loch Humphrey. There has been a dwelling called Hole Cottage on this spot since at least the time of the first-edition OS map (1865). In 1712, the tenant of Hole Farm was a certain John McRae (see John Bruce's "History of the Parish of West or Old Kilpatrick" (1893), in its chapter on the so-called "watch-meal of Kilpatrick").
