Thank you! That is very helpful.  I love the maps for Scotland. We did have Gilcrest in the family, but not sure of direct link to this James. But a small cottage is a good guess for an old women. She probably had something of a dower in the will of her husband for her upkeep.

"James Forrest and Agnes Scott married in Cambusnethan parish on 10/11/1810." 

I have this couple in my tree. I've done a lot of research using Scotland's People and the historical maps with pretty good success. Trying to track down "Poplar Glen" in Carluke for her death place 1867. I'm assuming it was some sort of old folks home.

Her husband died ten years before at which time her eldest son, Robert, sold Woodhall and immigrated with his kids to Iowa. Daughter, Hilen was married to Thomas Lindsay and living in Biggar. The other daughter was in Illinois.
