Statement of Interest

NOTES: Aberdour and surrounding land is divided between the old feudal estates of the Earls of Morton (Easter Aberdour) and the Earls of Moray (Wester Aberdour). Main Street is the main thoroughfare to Easter Aberdour. 36 Main Street is notable within the context of Main Street for its Gibbsian doorpiece, long and short quoins and cavetto eaves cornice which set it apart from the more vernacular tone of the rest of the street. A Gibbsian doorpiece can also be found at Aberdour House (see separate listing).
