Black Middens Bastle House is a 16th century stone two storey fortified farmhouse, built as a defensive structure to protect against border reivers. There is a small car park and access across a field to the bastle. Visitors can walk around the outside and go up the steps to a first floor viewing platform on the inside of the building.
