The History


There has been farming activity at Windy Yett since at least the 1600’s. Ruins of an an early crofting cottage can be found in the upper field. The current buildings were all erected during the early 1700s with an extension to the main farmhouse in the mid to late 1800’s. It its hay day Windy-Yett was one of the largest dairy farms in the central belt of Scotland. The Gray family owned the farm for over 200 years and still farm the neighbouring land. Windy-Yett Farm used to extend over many acres, but the land has been gradually sold off and now 9 acres remain.


The original farmhouse out-buildings remain in reasonable condition and we plan to convert some into further holiday accommodation. A wedding lintel is clearly visible over the door of the original farmhouse celebrating the marriage of Beatrice Allan and William Gray in 1737.
