Sad to see the cottage in so poor state of repair. If I was lucky enough to live close by, I would love to bring it in to service as a bothy.

My Kerr ancestors lived on this croft, but were "cleared" abt 1810 by one of the Macmillans, who was the factor to the "improving" ?4th D of Hamilton.

There are lots of relevant graves in the Sannox kirkyard - I spit on the Macmillan ones once a year... The cottage was used by the Uni of Strathclyde Fisheries Research people in the 60s and 70s, to count the declining fish stocks in the Clyde estuary.

It is a shame this is left to fell apart. This would make a great bothy or Croft. Please would the owner consider doing some thing with it. Many people can not even afford a tent to live let alone have lots properties go to waste while people die on the streets. Fantastic location.
