Abstract: |
A standing building survey was required for a small steading and house at Upper Allaloth, prior to their demolition and the erection of a replacement dwelling house The steading, of mid 19th century date, comprised 4 structures built against one another to form a long narrow block incorporating a mill, bothy and byres. It had a fairly elaborate water mill for the size of croft (50 arable acres). The water ran from a mill pond to the S and would appear to have powered a breastshot fed wheel. The lade would have run along a (probably timber) launder or channel above ground to feed in at the level of the concrete setting that remains. Although the lauder does not survive, a ridge c 1m wide alongside the outer face of the W wall indicates its position. The house which was L-plan was unusual, probably as a result of rebuilding after it was destroyed by fire in 1918. |
