Norrieston is an old manse, or Scottish minister's home, the oldest part of which was built in 1765.
Most of the East Wing was built in 1862.
The house has a large, attractive garden and is surrounded by farmland. The cherished bird population of the garden includes over 20 different species.
Nearby Thornhill village was founded in 1696 by Archibald Napier, whose great grandfather was the mathematician John Napier - famous for inventing the logarithm.
The East Wing has 1 double room [with a 'Queen Size' Double bed] and 2 twin bedded rooms, and provides comfortable accommodation for up to 6 adults.
There are 2 bathrooms, 1 with bath and separate shower, the other with a shower only.
The living room is of a good size and benefits from an open fire - which is in addition to the central heating throughout the building.
The kitchen is well equipped, with:
- Gas hob and electric oven

- Dishwasher
- Refrigerator and deep freeze
An additional utility room contains a washing machine and tumble drier.
A short walk away is the charming village of Thornhill, which has a shop, post office and 2 pubs.
