Edwardian farmhouse. dated 1908. Currently being reviewed for demolition so I thought it was important to get some footage before it's gone, although there's not much inside. it was originally a golf club and was converted to a farmhouse in the 1950's. Dated 1908 Architects: Bailey Scott Murphy and David Morton Kinross Some information from "scotland at risk register": A-symmetrical, L-plan half-timbered golf club converted to farmhouse circa 1953. Single and 2-storey, 6-bay with 2-storey, 2-bay projecting wing to outer left; recessed 2-storey, single bay wing in penultimate bay to outer left. Whitewashed harl; painted red brick base course; red clay tile roof swept at eaves; timbered gableheads; overhanging eaves. Rendered single storey outbuilding to outer right; red brick pitched roof ruin at front facing E. Originally Cramond Brig Golf Club comprising dining room, smoking room, changing quarters, a clubmaster's parlour, servery, kitchen and separate entries for males and females. Despite its present state of disrepair, Cammo Home Farm retains architectural interest through its Arts and Crafts detailing - note the overhanging eaves, large stacks, timber details beneath gables and sense of rambling a-symmetry. Neither Bailey Scott Murphy (b 1876) nor David Morton Kinross (nephew of John Kinross) were architects of prolific output. The former's interest lay primarily in metalwork, publishing ENGLISH AND SCOTTISH WROUGHT IRONWORK, (1904), with 72 collotype photographs and 68 plates of measured drawings. The folio was dedicated to John Kinross to whom Murphy acknowledged his indebtedness "for the generous guidance and encouragement given to him throughout the entire undertaking". By 1908, Murphy was in partnership with David Morton Kinross at 44 Hanover Street. Besides the Golf Club, the two designed 8 houses in Colinton and 2 in Liberton. Plans dated to 1953 for Messrs Neil N Little & Sons depicting alterations and additions to the Farm show the removal and replacement of original windows with timber louvres (allowing) ventilation within the proposed milking parlour within the W wing of the club). Doors and fireplaces are built up, timber floors replaced with concrete, a cattle court proposed to the W of the house and a sectional timber hut positioned to its left. The farm's living quarters are set within the E half of the building and accessed from what was originally the club's female entry. Various outbuildings, including a cattle feed store (harled with a corrugated-iron roof) and roofless, ruinous storage barn (red brick and harled with red clay roof tiles), are situated to the N and W of the house.
