Full Description

The surviving farmhouse is the remnant of a formerly extensive range of buildings as can be seen on Figs 3 & 4. The farmhouse itself appears to have been built or rebuilt between 1871 and 1903, as it was not shown in its present form on the earlier OS map. To the NE of the farmyard was an L-shaped range of buildings , presumably barns that no longer survive and this area is currently used as a fank. To the North of this 2 small buildings, B & C, still survive in fragmentary form. Building C may have been a horse mill.
Further West was D, another small structure, possibly a lime kiln, though not listed as such on the OS map.
Enclosure E, probably a stock pen, may have formed the West boundary of Balnacruie Farm.
