Perthshire / Re: Hamlets of Glack and Balwhern in Perthshire
« on: Tuesday 12 September 23 06:53 BST (UK)  »
Good morning. If it helps, if you go to the What3words web site our house is ///headstone.stocks.throats.
We have lived here for nearly a year. We bought it from Maurice Paxton. We bought the house and the steading building.
A local digger driver was able to tell me that about 50 years ago they tried to cultivate the land surrounding the house but came across all the foundations for the rest of the building and houses that once stood here. Due to cost they did not remove them, instead planting a Forrest across the site.

Try this web link. Six old maps of our house and the surrounding area.

Not sure if this helps? I live in Balquharn, Bankfoot, Perthshire. It is a 200 year old farm house. Just up the road my friend Daryl lives in The Glack, again an old farm house.
We are on the Berryhill estate. I have been looking into the history of the house and came across your post.
