NOTES:<br />

Standalane House is now one of the principal early houses within <strong>Stewarton</strong> itself;<br />

although the burgh has encroached on its setting and it was originally surrounded by<br />

farmland. Dating from around the turn of the eighteenth century, the V-plan created by<br />

the flanking ancillary ranges echoes the plan of the distinctive Ayrshire farms and is an<br />

important part of the character of the group. The house itself is of some refinement and<br />

quality with its principal elevation finished in ashlar. Its early date is evident in the widely<br />

spaced bays and windows set close to the eaves. The pigeon loft in the gable of the right<br />

hand wing is a particular feature of this area of Ayrshire.<br />
