Know more about Tealing Earth House
Tealing Earth HouseTealing Earth House is not a dwelling, but a stone-lined souterrain, an iron age underground passage, the purpose of which is widely debated. When it was discovered in the 1800s, a magnificent cup-and-ring marked stone was found re-used in one of its walls. The Earth House was discovered by a farmer in 1871 and is today in the care of Historic Environment Scotland. Nearby lies an interesting doocot that was built in 1595.
