A simple, but well-preserved former blacksmith's house with adjoining smithy. Note the timber sash and case glazing, graded slates and corniced stacks. The former blacksmith?s shop has retained the majority of its original features including two hearths, working bellows, workbenches and various tools including an anvil. The maps mark this as Etterick Smithy despite the road upon which it is set leading to Ettrick Bay.
