As the quay was probably used for landing supplies for the Mull of Galloway Lighthouse (see separate listing), it is probable that the quay and cottage were built at the same date as the lighthouse. On the "Plan of the Mull of Galloway" of 1827 (NLBD DC8872), a "store house" is marked at East Tarbet which could possibly be the same building which is currently on the site. The quay and cottage are marked on the OS Map of 1848. A new boathouse and store affect the setting.
