1905, octagonal water tank sited on hill above burgh, roofed
circa 1911. Brick base course bearing octagonal slate roof
swept close to ground with apex ventilator. Gabled porches
with slated roofs rising well above low eaves in opposite
roof pitches.

Tank was originally open before contamination problem was
appreciated. It provides cold water storage of treated water
brought from Whiteadder Reservoir in the Lammermuirs. The
roofing form, placed so low on a tank, is most unusual.

known as Bass Rock Farm.
