Farm Buildings and Agricultural Settlement |

Implement shed, Sunlawshill, Roxburghshire |
The
increasing range and size of arable farm equipment in the late 19th
century led to the construction of extra buildings to house them.
The new buildings usually had slender cast iron columns with wider
spaces between them rather than the stone columns of earlier, 19th
century cart bays.
The new machinery included reapers and binders, though not yet tractors.
The accommodation continued to suit mechanised 20th century farms. |
