Creityhall, Milton Of Buchanan

Creityhall is a farmhouse with associated steading, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century. It is situated to the northeast of Drymen village.

The main house is a two-storey, rubble-built structure with a pitched roof and a rectangular plan. The front elevation, facing south, has three bays designed to maximise light. A central, enclosed, harled porch with a piended roof was likely added in the early 20th century. To the right of the main house is a single-storey wing with a piended roof and a shaped gable, added in the later 19th century.

The rear (north) elevation features a rubble-built lean-to extension that stretches almost the entire length of the ground floor. This extension was built in two phases; the first edition Ordnance Survey map from 1858-63 shows an outshot only to the centre, indicating the western extension was added later in the 19th century and was likely used as a gig house. A later 20th-century brick lean-to, partially open-fronted and with an asbestos roof, is located to the east of the rear elevation. The rear elevation has only four windows: two within the ground floor lean-to extensions, and two centrally positioned on the first floor, with the right-hand window being smaller.

The single-storey steading is built of random rubble and has a U-plan with ranges extending to the east, north, and west, separated by a narrow pend between the western and northern ranges. The roofs are piended, although the roof of the eastern range has been removed except for the southern end, and has been replaced with a modern lean-to roof after being incorporated into a large modern barn. The courtyard elevations of the east and north ranges mostly feature built-up doorways where windows once stood.

Inside, a centrally positioned timber staircase with winders is present.

The house and steading are constructed from random rubble with rough quoins. The west elevation of the house is harled, and thin lime render covers the north and east elevations. The house has mainly 12-pane timber sash and case windows. The roofs are covered in graded slate, with exceptions as noted. Rendered gable-head stacks with circular cans are on the house; a rubble stack is at the rear of the western steading range.
