Statement of Interest

The steading appears on George Burnett's 1759 'Plan of Kemnay Farm, Gardens and New Ground'. The S range was damaged by fire during the 1920s. Completing the steading, but not included in this listing, are the nearby farmhouse (now altered) built by James Henderson in 1861, 19th century Gardeners Cottage and farm worker's dwelling (now ruinous) known as Rose Cottage.
