It was designated a Historic Environment Scotland property in 1986. It is a large two-story farmhouse built in 1870 or 1876, likely incorporating an earlier house. It is a L-shaped building.[1]
It was the birthplace of Archibald McCall (1734–1814), whose family had lived on the land for generations. His father, Samuel McCall, was a merchant who operated between Glasgow and Colonial Virginia.[3]
