Probably late 17th early 18th century building occupying much
older site. Rectangular house now decaying and partly used as
garage with wide vehicle access opened to ground.

of squared whinstone. Red sandstone margins to unaltered
openings with 45 degree chamfer at ground left and centre

Interior much altered, flooring in dangerous condition.

Statement of Interest

Traditionally Mary Queen of Scots was said to have lodged at

the House of Fuffnock on her journey to Port Mary in 1568,

the present building is probably on the site of the original

house.
