According to my map-based research, presented in the article linked from the end-note, the main farmhouse at Pillanflatt was at or near the site of the house that is just left of centre, where what looks like a white car with a magenta roof is parked. An 1841 plan shows what looks like a courtyard in front of the farmhouse: the position of the courtyard would correspond, roughly, to the present-day road in front of the house. The 1841 plan shows two other farm buildings to the west of the main farmhouse; for their position, see Image Both that site and the one shown in the present picture are on Taylor Street, in a recently-built housing development at Dalquhurn. These positions are approximate only (I estimate them to be correct to within 50 metres or so); see the article for a full discussion. See also the annotated satellite view that is linked from the end-note.
