Statement of Interest

Part of an A-group with Kinneil House, nos 2 & 4, 5 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 Scottish vernacular architecture.

6-8 Duchess Anne Cottages lies within the amenity zone for the Antonine Wall recommended in D N Skinner The Countryside of the Antonine Wall (1973), and which will form the basis of the buffer zone, yet to be defined, for the proposed Antonine Wall World Heritage Site.
