The name suggests that Harvieston Mains was part of the estate of Harvieston House (see separate listing). However, "RD" stands for Robert Dundas which suggests it was actually the property of Arniston House (see separate listing). It is no longer operational as a farm, but has been converted into residential units in such a way as to respect the essential character of its original agricultural function.
