Part of an A-group with Kinneil House, 5 and 6-8 Duchess Anne Cottages, Kinneil House bridge and Kinneil House walled garden.
An important and integral part of the Kinneil Estate, these cottages would have housed essential workers employed by the Duke of Hamilton, the local landowner. They form a particularly picturesque group and are excellent examples of the Scottish vernacular tradition.
