Description
Nine Dargue, located 150 metres south-east of Nettle Hill Farmhouse, is a bastle house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century. The building is constructed of massive rubble with roughly shaped quoins and has two storeys and two bays. The front elevation features an external stone staircase leading to an off-centre first-floor door, with a window to the left that has largely fallen. The right side has a central round-headed door with a drawbar tunnel and a socket for a har post. The left side displays a boulder plinth and a central chamfered loop. The rear elevation includes one small first-floor window. Despite being in a ruinous state, the building retains some interesting features, particularly the doorway to the ground floor byre. The name 'Nine Dargue' refers to the amount of land that could be tilled in nine days' work.
