Summary

Description

Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Appears on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map (1859-64), but probably dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. Attractive traditional 2-storey, 3-bay farmhouse with U-shaped steading behind, set on a sloping site in an isolated location to the SW of Malling (see separate list description). It is a good example of a relatively unaltered improvement period farmhouse and modest steading.

Symmetrical principal (S) elevation, with later central gabled porch flanked by single windows. Single windows on ground and 1st floors of E return. Ground and 1st floor windows to rear (N) elevation of house. 2 additions to rear elevation: substantial single storey with attic gabled addition to left with door and single window overlooking farmyard. Single storey addition advanced to right, with single window and door accessing the farmyard.

Interior

Admission not obtained at time of resurvey (2004). According to the present owner, when they bought the farm in the 1990s, the house was a shell, with only the exterior walls and the roof intact.

Materials

Whitewashed with painted margins to windows. Timber door with 2-pane fanlight to porch. Predominantly modern 12-pane timber sash and case windows, single rooflight to NE extension to rear. Graded grey slates to pitched roof with whitewashed coped gable-head stacks with circular clay cans.

Steading

Single storey U-shaped steading to N. Whitewashed with various openings, some of which have been enlarged, variety of rooflights. Graded grey slates to roofs, all of which are pitched except for SW gable, which is piended. Some cast-iron rainwater goods.

Statement of Special Interest

Over Shannochill was originally part of the Malling Estate, owned by the Duke of Montrose. There are a number of improvement period farmhouses and steadings all called Shannochill, located on a small hill to the N of the Forth valley and to the W of Lake of Menteith. They are situated close to an old road that ran between Malling to the NE and the Cobleland Bridge over the River Forth to the SW (see separate list entries for Malling Steading and Cobleland Bridge). According to the owner, there has been a building on this site since the 17th century. Blaeu's Atlas of Scotland, 1654 shows 2 settlements, one called 'Schenna' and the other marked as 'Chaill'. Over Shannochill appears as 'Shannachoil' on James Stobie's map of the counties of Perth and Clackmannan, 1783.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
