Originally called Woodhead Cottage. An unusual-looking cottage situated in the former park of Dreghorn Castle. This cottage is unlikely, from its situation, to have been a lodge; it may have been a gamekeeper?s cottage. The small outshot to the N and the porch are mid-19th century additions ? they do not seem to appear on the 1st edition OS map, although the scale is so small that it is hard to be certain. The porch, which is out of scale with the rest of the cottage, appears to have been taken from another building.
