Abstract: |
A Level 1 standing building survey was carried out on 17 June 2021; the weather was warm and sunny. Six main phases of development of the building were recorded. Prior to the 1st Edition OS the buildings consisted of an L-shaped range in the N and W and a stand alone building in the SE; parts of all these buildings survive (although some are inaccessible) and in Phase 2 (prior to the 2nd Edition OS) a U-shaped range with opening into courtyard at the S was created using the existing buildings. In Phase 3, probably in the late 19th century a bothy and workshop were added in stone in the SW and in the mid 20th century a concrete structure was built in the NW using one of the walls of the Phase 1 W range; at this time the W end of the N range was demolished to allow access into the courtyard from the N. Later tanks were built to the E and a Dutch barn added into the E side of the courtyard. Building 2 appears to have been used mainly used to process and store grain and has been associated with Little Mill of Esslemont just to the SW on the opposite side of the Bronie Burn. Building 1 has been domestic, workshop and animal use. |
