Details |
Site of a possible manor, remains of house of Auchleuchries, which was demolished in 1864, house and farmstead, still in use. The 18th Century gate piers of the former mansion house remain. They are short square granite ashlar gate piers with ball-finials set in rubble-built hemi-cycle. A later house now stands on the site. The farmstead, which is depicted on the OS 1st edition map, was originally U-shaped with open court to the south. This has now been altered considerably. The remains of another building, which was also depicted on the 1st edition map, lie circa 70 m to the northwest. To the northeast is a pond with a sluice. East of the farmstead the map shows two other buildings. The same layout is shown on the OS 2nd edition map, on which the mill dam is also marked, with a lade leading to the building immediately to its southwest. Current maps indicate that the pond has since been infilled.
