Description

Shown on Ordnance Survey 1854 edition and until the 1919 survey. It seems likely that it was a small estate farm built as agricultural production became more intensive in the later 19th century. The farm buildings stood on the south side of the Ettrick Grove entrance to Barns Park. No trace of the buildings today.
