Statement of Interest

Tealing Home Farm was served Tealing House and was owned successively

by the Maxwells of Tealing from the 15th century, the Scrymsoures (later spelling Scrymgeour) from 1704 and the Fothringham Scrymgeours from 1826; leased to Edmund C Cox in 1923. The circa 1600 date of the original farmhouse is suggested by the similarity of the blocked chamfered doorway to the doorway at the dated dovecot (listed separately). This block appears to have received a new front doorway some time before it was converted to a stable and coach house in 1826 by James Pirnie, mason, this work preceding by a year William Burn's major additions to Tealing House (listed separately). The 3 consecration-type crosses and the sculpted mask probably came from the chapel which formerly stood to the north of Tealing House (Warden); alternatively they may have been removed from the old Tealing Church when it was demolished in 1808. The soutterain to the west of Tealing Burn is a Scheduled Ancient Monument in the care of Historic Scotland.
