Statement of Interest

1633 date stone above left porch is erroneous recent

addition. Served as manse until 1825 when poor condition

prompted new building. Dormers and porch form echo that of

Castle Inn to left, possibly added to old manse circa 1825

and possibly by William Burn who worked on the Inn. Raised

masonry evidence below eaves to W.
