Kilmote Farm, Lothmore

E-plan framstead consisting of hay barn in central range with threshing barn behind, and site of water-wheel visible in rear (north) wall. Stable with hay-loft in west range and single-storeyed cow byre to east. North side partly open shelter-sheds on each side of barn. (RCAHMS Survey text July 1994)

Also on the site is a single storey plus attic red standstone building with 3-bay frontage and three rooflights. Probably the grieve's cottage built in 1869 referenced in the Inventory of Sutherland Estate Papers Acc. 10853, National Library of Scotland. There is a single storey range of outbuildings at entrance gate and a roofless stone building to the south of the steading.

18 September 2018: External inspection finds the farm complex in overall poor condition. There is a mix of roofed and roofless structures. The main steading has been partly re-roofed in modern corrugated metal. Part of the roof of the single storey range of outbuildings at the farm entrance has collapsed. There are vegetation growths throughout and where rainwater goods remain these are blocked. The remaining harl is failing and cracking in parts and there is loose masonry and mortar to most of the structures. Timberwork throughout is in need of repair. The grieve's cottage window panes are broken. The complex appears to still be in farm use. Move to At Risk.
