| Built possibly 1860s. Originally 4 cottages (3 plus a bothy), the southern-most 2 were demolished c.1920 and a private house built on the site. Remaining 2 combined into one c.1948. All references post-1860 are here; pre-1860 are at Wormit Farm Cottages at Steading. | Wormit Farm Cottages, 22, Naughton Road | Location |
| Originally 'Justfield', then 'The Cliff', this was renamed 'Chesterhill' ca. 1906. See also the original Chesterhill (now known as Washer Willy's). | Chesterhill | Location |
| This was the original Chesterhill. It was renamed "Washer Willy's" in the 20th century. See also the original "Washer Willy's" (real name 'Knowehead'). | Washer Willy's | Location |
| It has proved impossible to determine who lived in this cottage (there may even have been 2) before 1957. Name changes - Chesterhill Cottage, Cliffe Cottage - have compounded the problem. I am not certain that I have got this one correct. Inhabitants are listed here or at Inverdovat Farm Cottages. 1901 and 1911 censuses clearly refer to this as Cliff Cottage. | Washer Willy's | Location |
