Terrace Walls, Ury House

This is a country house built in 1855 by John Baird of Glasgow, with a wing added in 1884 by an unknown architect. The house is now a roofless shell, as the roof was removed after the Second World War. The building is constructed of ashlar stone with elaborate sculpted decoration.

The original house is in a revived English Tudor/Jacobean style and features a tall, square entrance tower with a porch-cochere set slightly off-centre. The house has two or three storeys and a variety of window styles, primarily hood-moulded, often with mullions. Some windows are canted or oriel windows. A large, mullioned and transomed window on the right side of the tower likely illuminated a grand hall. Gabled dormers extend above the eaves, and some bays project forward from the main wall face and are also gabled. Other features include engaged angle shafts, parapets, and chimney stacks. The house has a double-gabled design, and the return elevation on the right side resembles a villa.

A wing is situated on the left side of the main front, where the front wall has been breached. This wing features a pair of crow-stepped gables and a buttressed, stepped, channeled, and rock-faced terrace wall.
