Smithy, Luggate Burn

The Smithy at Luggate Burn, designed by William Burn around 1830, is a single-storey cottage with a picturesque gabled appearance, originally formed from a pair of buildings and a workshop. The cottage features stugged, squared red and pink sandstone with stugged ashlar dressings, while the rear and workshop are constructed from roughly coursed rubble, indicating the possible incorporation of an earlier structure.

On the west elevation, there is an off-centre gabled porch with a doorway to the south and a narrow window to the west, which has a bracketed stone canopy. The gablehead has overhanging eaves and features a segmentally arched, timber mullioned bipartite window to the right of centre, as well as a similar window in the outer left bay. A gabled, harled porch addition projects from the bay to the left of centre.

The south gable wall has a segmentally arched timber mullioned window and a corbelled stack at the apex, while the north gable is blank but has unusual mannered corbelling on the stack. There is a small harled piend-roofed addition at the northeast angle.

The workshop is attached to the rear (east) elevation of the cottage and includes a wide doorway to the south and a taller, pentice-roofed bay to the outer right, which has a segmentally arched doorway. It features plate glass sash and case windows, original grey slates, a single diamond stack, and crowstepped gables with beak skewputts.

Additionally, there is a rubble retaining wall with semi-circular coping and a square pier topped with semi-circular coping.
