Description
This is a late 17th to early 18th century rectangular cruck barn located at Corrimony Grange, Corrimony. The building features low walls made of harled pointed rubble and has long three-bay elevations on the southeast and northwest sides.
There are entrances in the outer bays of the northwest elevation, which are matched by similar entrances on the southwest side. The entrance to the west on the southwest elevation has been enlarged and is flanked by a small slit vent on the left and a central window on the right. A later entrance has been added to the southwest gable, which is covered by a corrugated iron gablet, and the roof is a piended corrugated iron structure.
Inside, there are five pairs of cruck blades that spring from the base or wall, linked at various points by curved "yoke" collar ties. A hip cruck survives at the northeast gable end, while the one at the southwest has been removed to accommodate the current entrance. Some spur ties remain, which previously linked the crucks with the wall plate. The present corrugated iron roof is supported by light modern timber rafters.
