Interestingly, 'The Buildings of Scotland' says that Newhall is late 18th century, but Historic Scotland's web site says it is early 19th century. No matter when it was built, it is Category B Listed. Newhall is the birthplace of Major-General William Farquhar (26 February 1774 – 11 May 1839) who, after a long spell as British Resident in Malacca, was instrumental in creating Singapore, of which he was the first Resident until Sir Stamford Raffles dismissed him. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Farquhar for a fuller account.
