April 2002: Scottish Enterprise seeks permission to demolish. SCT objects. 9 July 2003: The Dumbarton Reporter notes that Scottish Enterprise has been refused permission to demolish the buildings, which are reported to be dilapidated with the cottages roofless.

October 2008: External inspection reveals that the stable ranges are now roofless shells. Furthermore, the masonry has large cracks in it and bushes and trees are growing from within the buildings. A sign affixed to the structure states that it is dangerous.
