Statement of Interest

Glenfeulan dates from the earlier 19th century but has been added to in the later part of the 19th century and early 20th century. The house is shown on the 1st edition map as 3 distinct linked blocks with the conservatory occupying a greater area from W to E at S end. By the 2nd edition map the house has taken on a more regular rectangular-plan appearance.
