Former walled kitchen garden of Balmuir House (NO43SW0009), dating from the early 18th century, shown on the OS 1st and 2nd edition maps, now sub-divided into residential properties. Formerly rectangular with flat-coped rubble walls, stugged and margined ashlar dressings at the doorways, which included two at the east and west and one at the south. There were symmetrical lean-to buildings are at the north elevation, built of rubble masonry, with various doors and slate roofs, bowed at the left and right angles, with a modern porte-cochere loading bay at the centre. The south elevation was brick lined and flued, with a rubble base and incorporating a number of segmental arch-heads and a ruinous glasshouse. The walled garden is now divided into three residential properties, Nos. 1-3 The Walled Garden, with Balmuir Garden Cottage now adjacent to the northwest external elevation of the walled garden. The walled garden is presumed to be contemporary with the original part of Balmuir House. According to a document written by J. H. Sharp in circa 1930, the flued garden wall was built by James Webster (formerly Graham), probably later in the 18th century.
