Full Description

Stamford Cottage in Camemorie.

The building was listed at Category C by Historic Scotland in 2012: Stamford Cottage is an early-mid 19th century dwelling with a largely intact interior demonstrating authentic vernacular construction methods. The principal room to the south has a box bed, fitted press and cupboards and a timber fireplace. The roof structure features waney edge timbers and horizontal caber construction, adding to the interest, and has the remains of a heather and turf thatch beneath the tin. The gable end of the building fronts the former military road between Coupar Angus to Fort George. This portion of the road was used as a cattle droving route. Full architectural details are available in Historic Scotland's listed building description, see link at the bottom of this record. <1>

A photographic survey of the building was carried out by Annie Kenyon Architects in 2025 and submitted in support of a planning application for the restoration and reuse of the building. <2>
