Whilst you will not get a photograph of the farm this way, it is worthwhile looking at the National Library of Scotland maps website. That will give you free access to older maps of Scotland, including very detailed Ordnance Survey ones. These maps can be viewed with various modern overlays, allowing you to change from the old map to a new one, or a satellite image. It will show you changes in the immediate area.
