Whitehouse
Originally part of a large working farm, the outbuildings including Whitehouse were remodelled in the 1840’s using stone from the fortified Woodwrae Castle once situated along the farm track. The doocot remains today , and can be seen in the field to the right as you make your way to Whitehouse.
Dating around the 15th century, the castle remains were demolished in 1810 where upon a large pictish stone was discovered in the kitchen hearth. Eventually removed and given to Sir Walter Scott for his garden antiquities collection at Abbotsford house, the stone is now situated in Edinburgh Museum.
Our monster logo is taken from one of the scenes on the stone.
What is now the kitchen at Whitehouse was the farm bothy where many of the male farm workers lived , and the lounge and downstair rooms were once the working horse stables , with hay loft above. The building adjacent is the cartshed.
