Abstract: |
In September 2005, the East Lothian U3A Family History Group undertook an informal historic building recording at East Adniston, Macmerry as part of an SMR Enhancement project. The building was rectangular, 20 x 5 metres, with a later extension to the south. It was built of sandstone, with dressed blocks at the corners and doorways. Only the East gable remains, and it shows that there would have been a second storey. Evidence for a substantial fireplace suggests that the kitchen was down stairs with the main hall immediately above. The remains of a spiral staircase can still be seen at the western end of the building. Remains of a well were visible adjacent to the house.East Adniston appears on Forrest's map of 1799 and Blaeu's map of 1654. Although the building remains have not been dated, they could relate to the late medieval laird's house at East Adniston. |
