Toll Cottage
The cottage stands where the tolls for crossing Barskimming Bridge used to be collected. It stands at the top of a steep slope leading down to the narrow bridge which is only wide enough for one vehicle to cross at a time. Evidence for this is given by the road sign.

Uninhabited Workers Cottages within Barskimming Estate.
A listed building, this was once Estate workers accommodation. It is perched precariously above the River Ayr some 65 feet (approx) below.
The tree in the foreground is growing out of the top of the cliff. Considerable engineering work was done several years ago to stabilise the building and the cliff as there was a danger of partial collapse.

The Mill, Barskimming.
Although there was another much larger Mill not far from here, this is the old Mill building within the estate. The burn that flows below the building towards the camera rises near West Welton Farm to the east of Mauchline and joins the River Ayr close by.
