Sheep Dipping Shed And Enclosure Walls, Blairvockie Farm

The Sheep Dipping Shed and Enclosure Walls at Blairvockie Farm is a rectangular single-storey building constructed in the later 19th century. It is made of random rubble with red sandstone cills and lintels and is located on a southwest-facing hill in the northeast corner of a roughly rectangular walled enclosure. This building is an excellent example of its rare type and has seen little alteration.

The west elevation features five bays, with a timber-boarded door in the second bay from the right and timber-louvred windows in the remaining bays. The north gable has two doorways with modern timber half gates that provide access for sheep to timber pens inside. The east elevation consists of four bays, one of which has a blocked opening, while the other three have timber-slatted window openings. The south gable has a single timber-boarded door, which is accessed by a stone flag path. The roof is pitched and covered with graded slates, and there is a coped stone stack at the top of the south gable.

Inside, the shed features a flagstone floor, a brick dipping channel that has been modernised with concrete parapets, and a dip heating boiler with a large earthenware basin.

The surrounding enclosure is made of random rubble walling topped with rough saddleback coping. It is divided into three sections by similar walling, including one large area to the west and two smaller areas adjacent to the dipping shed.
