NOTES: The land which Seaside Place and the surrounding area is built upon was acquired by the 11th Earl of Morton in 1725. It was laid out throughout the late 18th and 19th centuries and is shown on maps of this date as 'New Town'. The area was built to provide a fashionable place to live set aside from Easter and Wester Aberdour and to cater for the growing market of well-heeled and discerning tourists during the 19th century. The house was sold to the Free Church in 1888 whereupon Rev. J Brown left the original manse at Sands Place and moved into this house renaming it St Helen's. It is not known at what point the house left the hands of the church however the church itself at Sands Place was demolished in the 1960s.
