Granary, Auchlyne Farm, Auchlyne

The granary at Auchlyne Farm is a tall, broad gabled structure made of rubble stone, with some harl remaining in places. It features slit windows at ground and eaves level, as well as at the apex of the gables. The building has depressed-arched entrance doors located midway along the west and east elevations. Although the roof has recently been replaced with green corrugated steel or aluminium sheeting, the granary retains much of its architectural integrity. While it is difficult to date precisely, it is likely that it was built in the early 19th century. Its large size distinguishes it from other examples, with only two similar granaries believed to survive in the parish, including Kinnell House Steading. The design includes an unusual level of ventilation, indicating that it was influenced by contemporary specialist theory. This granary was an essential part of the farm and was closely associated with the nearby Grain Drying Kiln.
