House name of 'Whitebank' as it stands on the bank of the South Calder to the rear, which is covered in wild garlic in season. Appears to have originally been an estate cottage related to the Allanton estate, like most of Bonkle, which was greatly enlarged into a villa of considerable size later in the nineteenth century.
