Not that the house is named on the OS map. It was the home of the owner of Carsebridge Distillery. Carsebridge (a grain whisky distillery) was the largest distillery in Europe and at the time of the whisky lake in 1983, when considerably more whisky was being distilled than bottled, it was decided to close this distillery to help with the issue. 10-15 years ago this picture would have been impossible, the house being obscured by grain silos etc. The house is listed (in more ways than one, looking at the relationship of the windows on each floor) and reputedly haunted. Post Hill is behind and to the left, Carsebridge rookery, of which the picture only shows one tree. Although the distillery has closed, the site still hosts a cooperage, warehousing, bodega, offices and what I think is Scotland's first indoor fork-lift-truck training centre.
