The partially obscured house on the right was originally a bastle house. According to Ramm, McDowall and Mercer in "Shielings and Bastles" (1970) "The entrance in the S wall is by an 18th century doorway with chamfered jambs and lintel and the windows are later. The walls are about 3 ft thick." Unfortunately, all of the stonework is obscured by the harling. See also Image, Image, Image and Image
