Scotsbrig

Scotsbrig is a two-storey house with a T-plan layout that has undergone several building phases. It was remodeled in the first half of the 18th century to create a long rectangular-plan house, incorporating some walling from earlier tower-house dimensions on the west side, with an internal flue-bearing wall that is roughly 4 feet thick at the first floor. In the earlier to mid-19th century, a full-height, two-bay jamb was added centrally on the long north wall.

The exterior features whitewashed rubble with contrasting painted margins, which are chamfered in the 18th century style. The north elevation has a windowed single bay on either side of the jamb, with a door located in the east re-entrant angle. This elevation may have originally been symmetrical, possibly with five bays. The south elevation has also been altered, featuring slappings with slab margins, arranged in a 1 + 3 bay configuration, where the left bay is blank. A porch is centrally located in the three-bay range, with a single low stair window above and two unmargined ground floor openings to the right. The building includes cavetto skewputts, straight skews, corniced end and axial stacks, and a slate roof.

The steading is mainly from the 18th century, with alterations made earlier in the 19th century. A long low steading range extends east from the southeast end of the house, and there is an L-plan steading block to the northwest. The lower section features a two-bay cartshed facing the courtyard, with slit ventilators in the south gable. The taller section, which may have been rebuilt on earlier footings, has three bays with a square loft opening above a near-centre door, topped with a corrugated asbestos roof.
