Since 2016 this cottage, once a tollhouse, has had new windows fitted and 'flood defences' added at the roadside. There was once a ford across the R Clyde on the other side of the road. The right hand third was the toll office with a door, now a window in the porch. The toll keeper lived in the left hand two thirds with an internal door between the two parts. The toll gate was at the left hand gable. The tollhouse has been named Hartside and Lamington with the Milestone Society ID now changed to SL.HARTSIDE.
