Statement of Interest

The kennels are utilised by the Berwickshire Hunt, 1995. Buildings appear upon the site of the steading and kennels in 1797, and possibly in 1771. In 1857, the plan of the group was quite different from now in that the courtyard was only a L-plan (SW and NW ranges). The house appears to have been built, although it may well have undergone reconstruction or heavy alterations in subsequent years. The 2nd edition OS reveals the group as found today.
