The hall appears on the 2nd Edition OS map, but not on the 1st, and so was built sometime between 1872 and 1905 when the two maps were surveyed. In 1914 it was the base for F Company, 5th Battalion Seaforth Highlanders. In 2013 it was used by the territorial army, the army cadets and as an army recruitment office. At the time of uploading it is unused and for sale with planning permission to convert it to a six bedroom house.
