NOTES: This early 19th century cottage sits directly at the side of the road and forms a significant presence in the road scape. The low profile of the building and the relatively little altered street exterior are essential components of the building and add to its character. The initials over the door are likely to be a marriage lintel and probably indicate the date of the cottage. The cottage is particularly notable fur the retention of the large stone chimney piece in the interior. Weaving and farming were important industries throughout Ayrshire in the late 18th and early 19th century. The cottages used for weaving were often simple, single-storey buildings, with one room for the loom and the rest used fur dwelling. They were often thatched. This cottage may have been a weavers cottage, or they may have been cottages fur farm workers. Married manual workers usually had their own quarters, using part of the cottage for animals, and part fur living quarters. These single-storey cottages directly on the roadside are an important landscape feature of the area and add to its character. Here, they road has been raised through the years, and the original door is now below the level of the current road.
