Description Thomas Patterson was leasing Gortlee from the Wray estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the 1850s, when it was valued at £25. The National inventory of Architectureal Heritage suggests it was built in the late 18th century but may have subsequently been modified on a number of occasions. It is also associated with the Boyd family. In 1837 Lewis had noted it as the seat of J. Cochran. Gorlee is still extant and occupied.
