Two detached multiple-bay two-storey outbuildings, built c.1860, arranged in L-plan. Pitched slate roofs with cast-iron rainwater goods, render copings, timber bargeboards, and clay ridge tiles. Rubble stone walls with roughly squared quoins. Square-headed window openings to first floor to front and segmental-headed openings to ground floor, with red brick surrounds and dressed stone sills, with glazed panels. Segmental-headed door openings to south-east elevation of building to south and to south-west elevation of building to north, with timber battened doors and red brick surrounds. Segmental carriage arch to south-east elevation of each building having timber battened sliding door with cast-iron wheels. Square-headed door opening to north-east gable with timber battened door, stone steps. Double-leaf wrought-iron gate set to rendered engaged piers between buildings. Remains of cobbled yard.

These outbuildings make a notable contribution to the streetscape. Modestly but well-constructed, they retain their original form and fabric and are enlivened by red brick dressings and slate roofs. They are representative of the agricultural built heritage of this area.

mill (water)535 yd

Explorer Tom Mill in Tullyrain is just standing there, empty inside but still pretending it’s grinding corn for the neighbours. The wind keeps picking on it because it forgot to put its machinery back after that one big flax day. Bring a flask and pretend you’re an industrialist who lost his fortune here recently.

Portal tomb in LennanPortal tomb · 7.6 mi

Explorer Tom Portal tomb in Lennan is perched on a drumlin ridge, looking slightly tipsy from the wind. If it could order at a chipper, it’d just want a stone and some silence. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
