Farmstead, still in use, built by Archibald Simpson in 1835, with part perhaps completed by J. Russel Mackenzie in 1866. It is shown on the 1st and 2nd edition OS maps as a U-plan steading with a rectangular-plan range covering the entrance, forming a quadrangular building. There are two buildings and a pond to the west and a building to the east. Current OS maps show the westernmost building has been extended to a much larger F-plan building, partially built on the site of the now infilled pond. The B-listed steading is single-storey, including the farmhouse part, with lofts and attics. The symmetrical front towards the house (south) has a centre blind arched screen, flanked by semi-elliptical arches dated 1835 connecting to gables at the east and west. A dovecot, possibly also dating to 1835, has a church-like form with a small tower and a pyramidal roof, and is constructed from pinned rubble. There is a small bothy addition to the west gable. While not depicted on maps, there is documentary evidence of there being a coach house and stables included in the steading.
