The house named ‘Hawkshaw’ in Crieff was built by David Porteous in the early 1800s. He acquired the original property on 5th March 1810. The exact date of construction is unknown but likely shortly after the acquisition of the land. The house is shown on the first known map of Crieff of 1822 (Wood’s Plan), titled by the name of the owner ‘Porteous’, and standing alone to the West of the town. The style of the house is Georgian and is fairly unique in the area. The subsequent construction of housing around Hawkshaw was of Victorian style. The Crieff Statutory List (relating to the house’s B listing) states that Hawkshaw Cottage was the coach house and that the building opposite on Comrie Road was the gardener’s cottage.
