Description

The Angus Folk Museum, located on Kirk Wynd in Glamis, was built in 1793 and converted into a museum in 1958. It consists of a row of six single-storey cottages constructed from random rubble with dressed quoins.

On the northwest elevation facing Kirk Wynd, the first cottage features a part-glazed timber door with flanking windows. The second cottage has a two-leaf boarded timber door on the left and two windows on the right. The third cottage also has a two-leaf boarded timber door with flanking windows. The fourth cottage has a two-leaf boarded timber door to the right and two windows to the left. The fifth cottage features a part-glazed timber door to the right and two windows to the left. The sixth cottage serves as the museum entrance, with a two-leaf boarded timber door, an adjacent cast-iron letterbox to the right, and windows in the flanking bays. There are two additional bays at the outer right, angled to the southeast, each with a boarded timber door over a window-height opening.

The southeast elevation displays a row of small window openings and vertically astragalled rooflights. The windows throughout the building feature multi-pane glazing patterns in timber sash and case and fixed timber styles. The roof is covered with Angus stone slate, and the chimneys are made of coped ashlar with thackstanes and cans.
