Ballencrieff Granary, Ballencrieff

2-storey, L-plan former house and granary. Random rubble with freestone dressings. Irregular openings, several now built up; doorways at 1st floor formerly with forestair and with corbel course above indicating position of former lean-to, large modern sliding doors inserted at ground of NE gable. No internal communications between ground and 1st floor; access by ladder. Red pantiles, coped askews; crowstepped to E with brick stack. 6 beak skewputts, 3 with shields bearing arms.

A hospital dedicated to St Cuthbert is documented at Ballencrieff in the 13th century. This later building was apparently connected with it, as was Redhouse, formerly known as Red Spittal ( Historic Scotland)

June 2008: External inspection finds the Granary in very poor condition; the roof has collapsed in many areas and there is substantial foliage growth evident within and around the structure.

April 2011: External inspection finds no significant change from the previous site visit - deterioration continues.

20 December 2012: Local planners report the building remains at risk.

3 December 2014: External inspection finds the building remains in much the same condition as seen previously.
