Farmsteading With Dovecot, Traprain

This farmsteading with a dovecot, designed by Peddie and Kinnear in 1872, features a front range that is gabled and includes the dovecot. The building is constructed from squared and snecked red sandstone, with ashlar dressings. It has stone mullions on the bipartite windows and a corbelled structure over the pend. The flanking ranges are made of random rubble with sandstone dressings.

To the left of the center, there is a segmentally arched pend with a bipartite window above it leading to the gabled dovecot. The bipartite windows break the eaves in gabled dormer heads at the return angles, with three perches and nine flight holes for the doves on each side. The right side features a long blank range, while the left side has a two-storey range with three tall openings at the ground level and four at the first floor, all fitted with wooden louvred shutters.

The roof is covered with grey slates and has straight skews with moulded skewputts. A lower part of a brick stalk with an ashlar base remains, which has been incorporated into a modern barn to the left of the steading.
