OUTBUILDING: single storey, rubble outbuilding adjoining farmhouse to W. Altered entrances. Coped skews. Long and short quoins.

BOUNDARY WALL: low rubble wall, with semicircular coping.
Predominantly 12-pane timber sash and case windows; graded grey slate roof; coped gablehead stacks, sandstone ashlar to S, harled to E and W.
The entrances to the outbuilding adjoining the farmhouse to the W, suggest that it was formerly a smithy. It forms the E range of the Bankhead steading, which is much altered and it now serves various purposes, although the stalk remains intact, to the W.
Bankhead appears on M Forrest's 1818 map of Linlithgowshire.
