Abstract: |
A standing building survey was undertaken prior to the demolition of a derelict steading and its replacement by a new agricultural building. It was a U- shaped steading of three stone-built ranges around an open dung court with entry from the S. Cattle had been housed in the N range. Originally the W range had included a mill, granary, cart sheds and loose boxes. The E range included the threshing barn. The open dung court had been roofed in the 20th century to provide extra cattle accommodation. Knapsleask was a fairly typical Aberdeenshire improvement steading, probably dating from c.1800 with development throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. |
