A farm called Pillanflatt disappeared before the earliest OS maps of the area were surveyed, but it does appear on an 1841 plan. My map-based research on its location is presented in an article that is linked from the end-note. According to that research, the two western buildings at Pillanflatt, as depicted on the 1841 plan, were more or less where the modern-day houses are in the left foreground of this photograph. See Image for the site of the main farmhouse itself. Both of these sites are on present-day Taylor Street in a recently built housing development at Dalquhurn. See the article for a full discussion. See also the annotated satellite view that is linked from the end-note; these sites are marked on it.
