The ruins of Garmore: the western building
In the item that gives an overview of these ruins, NS3680 : The ruins of Garmore, this structure can be seen in the background, near the centre of the photo.

As the annotated satellite view shows (see the end-note for the link), the long axis of the main body of the western building is oriented roughly N-S, but there is an addition at the northern end which is set at an angle of about 30 degrees to the rest of the building. In the present photo, the low remains of a N-S wall of the main part of the structure can be seen in the foreground, on the left, but the more prominent remains in the centre of the photo are the northern addition.

For a view along the length of that part of the structure, see NS3680 : The ruins of Garmore: the western building (detail).
The ruins of Garmore

"A dwelling-house with offices, the property of A B Yuille Esq., now occupied by John Howatt" [OS Name Books, c.1860]. The farmstead of Garmore, now a ruin, is mentioned in documents from the second half of the seventeenth century. See LinkExternal link for an annotated satellite view that shows the layout of the buildings at this site.
