Smithy Cottage, Carronbridge

Waulkmill Cottage is an earlier 19th-century single-storey row of buildings located on a slope. It originally comprised three cottages, but now consists of two, with a smithy situated between them. The structure is built from snecked, stugged, and squared pink rubble, featuring ashlar dressings. The cottage to the north, known as Findlater, has three bays, a central boarded door, and two roof-lights, while the remainder of the row is under a continuous roof. The other cottage to the north, referred to as Smithy Cottage, has four bays; it was originally two-bay cottages, and the second door has been converted into a window. The two-bay smithy retains a boarded smithy door and an iron tethering loop on a nearby stone. The building has coped end stacks, although one has been removed.
