Statement of Interest

B Group comprises Kames Cottages, Kames House, Kames North Entrance, Kames Stables, Kames Walled Garden and Kames West Lodge (see separate list entries). Abandoned and overgrown 1998. The remains of the garden are impressive - its hillside setting and large expanse being particularly notable. Both the 1858 and 1981 Ordnance Survey maps show it as having been divided in 2 horizontally, just to the N of the centre point, with a central avenue and flanking beds in the upper section. The lower section is shown as having been planted with trees (probably an orchard). A greenhouse and red brick potting shed still stand to the N.
