Description
Billy Diamond’s Cottage Site
Former Billy Diamond’s Cottage – a ruinous cottage situated off the Old Military Road. There is a water supply pipe on site, electricity, telecom and fibre in the public road, to be connected by a purchaser subject to necessary consents. The cottage was occupied by Billy Diamond together with his daughter and granddaughter circa 1850s, with rates last payable in 1925. He was Parish roadmender and gave his name to the adjacent bridge, Billy Diamond’s bridge. Planning approval has been informally explored with the Council in which economic justification suggested – see Supplementary Information. Consent would be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Lot 5 extends to a total area of 1.91 hectares (4.71 acres), with the site to the east of the public road measuring 1.30 hectares (3.22 acres) and the former Creetown water supply to the west of the public road measuring 0.44 hectares (1.08 acres). Area comprises mainly open, partially fenced, land, both sides of the public road.
Former Creetown Water Supply
To the west of Billy Diamond’s Cottage, the site used to supply the village of Creetown (population 750). It was taken over by Scottish Water in the 1950s and was said to be in the top two drinking water supplies in Scotland. It has access off the public road, with underground cistern and original pipework in place. A hard track to the cistern could be upgraded and water extracted by tanker or processed on site.
