Farmstead, still in use, depicted on historic OS maps. The 1st edition shows a U-plan steading with a long range on the east side of the court, and to the east two other rectangular buildings, the larger with an attached garden. By the time of the 2nd edition map there had been a number of additions, including within the former steading court, and on the west side of the steading. Northwest of the steading is an elongate pond and a sluice, with lade leading to the building between the house and steading. There have since been further alterations and additions to the steading. Milton of Drum Farm was the birth place of Dr Alexander Gordon, 1752-1799, who first described the infectious nature of puerperal (child birth) fever in the late 18th century. He is commemorated with a plaque at 17 Belmont Street, the site of his later town house.
