Description

Edinkillie House is a Georgian house, built in a Y-plan around a central south-facing bay in the shape of a half-octagon.[1][2] Two-storey wings, each with two bays, project from the centre, with single-storey, single-bay extensions beyond them.[3] The house presents large twelve-pane classical windows,[1][4] and is harled with tooled ashlar detailing.

History

Edinkillie House was built by John Paterson in 1822–1823, originally as the manse for Edinkillie Church. Its design was based upon plans that Paterson had unsuccessfully submitted for the construction of Dunphail House.[3][5] A porch, with rustic columns, was added in 1902 by John Wittet,[3] who may have done further work on the building in 1911.[6] The building was designated a Category B listed building in 1971, and was upgraded to Category A in 1987.[1]

gollark: ?tag create blub Graham considers a hypothetical Blub programmer. When the programmer looks down the "power continuum", he considers the lower languages to be less powerful because they miss some feature that a Blub programmer is used to. But when he looks up, he fails to realise that he is looking up: he merely sees "weird languages" with unnecessary features and assumes they are equivalent in power, but with "other hairy stuff thrown in as well". When Graham considers the point of view of a programmer using a language higher than Blub, he describes that programmer as looking down on Blub and noting its "missing" features from the point of view of the higher language.

gollark: > As long as our hypothetical Blub programmer is looking down the power continuum, he knows he's looking down. Languages less powerful than Blub are obviously less powerful, because they're missing some feature he's used to. But when our hypothetical Blub programmer looks in the other direction, up the power continuum, he doesn't realize he's looking up. What he sees are merely weird languages. He probably considers them about equivalent in power to Blub, but with all this other hairy stuff thrown in as well. Blub is good enough for him, because he thinks in Blub.
gollark: Imagine YOU are a BLUB programmer.
gollark: Imagine a language which is UTTERLY generic in expressiveness and whatever, called blub.
