Statement of Interest

In 1815, Thomas Scott, builder, of Musselburgh bought

the property, and was probably responsible for the

alterations prior to his death in 1819. The property

may well have served as an Inn in the earlier to mid

19th century, as the inscription above the garden gate

suggests. Lean-to garage adjoined to gable end of 33

Inveresk Village (Byways Cottage) to E.
