A group. The name Orrok was transferred from the Orrok's
family estate in Fife which had had to be sold.
John Orrok 'late captain of ships trading in the East and
West Indies' recovered the family fortunes in some degree and
bought the Colpna or Over Blairtown estate rechristening it
Orrok. The house bears large 'O's over the attic windows in the
gables and except possibly at the harled ground floor appears
to have been wholly built by him. See also Forbes and Taylor,
the letters of John Orrok (son of the above). The estate was
sold to R.S. Walker 1880.
