Its story
Raw Farm belongs to the earlier nineteenth-century farming landscape east of East Calder. Quarrying, lime burning and railway construction later transformed nearby ground, but the farmhouse remained a distinct reminder of the area’s agricultural organisation.
Why it is included
It balances the cohort’s large industrial structures with the domestic and working architecture of the rural landscape from which they emerged.
What to notice
