| The abandoned farm of Farnalees lies on the west side of the Allen valley on the south edge of the ravine of the Farnalees Burn. The ruined farmhouse was originally a bastle, a fortified farmhouse. It measures about 10m by 6m and has heavy stone walls. Although originally built in the 16th or early 17th century, it was much modified in the 19th century. Unfortunately the building is now much ruined. See also:
