Another visit to a spot I'd seen at a distance but hadn't managed to get up to.
It's a terrace of 3 cottages perched high up on a hillside with no road up there as such. There may have been a dirt track that was last used but certainly no road to speak of.
They're past (and on the land of) quite a big farm complex and quite close to Drochil Castle and it was a bit of a last minute "on the way home" dive up to take a look.
I didn't get a whole lot of time as the light was fading and I was conscious of increased activity down at the farm.
Indeed I passed the farmer out with his dogs on the way back down but as I'd seen him I played obvious with a big tripod over my shoulder and camera attached, friendly greeting and bit of a fuss over the dogs.
Edit.
So, using an extremely useful mapping tool referenced from another long closed thread I was reading earlier, (Explore georeferenced maps - Map images - National Library of Scotland)
It would seem that the cottages are listed on 1885 mapping data and named as Upper Drochil
