The Old Schoolhouse

The Old Schoolhouse is a bastle house dating from the 16th century or early 17th century, which was remodeled around 1840 to serve as a schoolmaster's house. It is constructed from large rubble with roughly-cut dressings, and features cut stone dressings for its 19th-century elements. The roof is made of Welsh slate, with end stacks that have been rebuilt in brick on their original bases.

The building has two storeys and two bays. A central doorway is located within a 20th-century porch, with a narrow window above it, flanked by larger windows that have slightly-projecting sills. The upper windows are set in gabled half dormers, and all openings from the 19th century have raised chamfered surrounds. To the left of the center, there are remains of a first-floor door from the original bastle. The gables and dormers are coped and supported by moulded kneelers. The right side of the building shows a central blocked byre door with an irregular-block surround beneath a relieving arch, along with traces of a blocked first-floor loop above.

Inside, the walls are 0.9 meters thick, but have been thinned back at the first-floor level. The porch, rear extensions, and altered schoolroom to the west are not considered of special interest.
