Millbank Cottage is a good unaltered example of a vernacular timber building in the North East of Scotland. Its merit is enhanced by the quality of detailing in features such as the window architraves and dormer design.
Robert Reid Shepherd was a joiner who did extensive work for the Cluny Estate and elsewhere in the North-East. He built Millbank Cottage for himself just prior to his marriage.
