Statement of Interest

Ecclesiastical building in use as such.

Some of the buildings in Fortingall ascribed to Dunn & Watson may have been designed by J.M. MacLaren before his death in 1890 when his practice was continued by William Dunn and Robert Watson his partner. Only Balnald, the Steading and Farmhouse were built in his lifetime but H.S. Goodhart-Rendel in The Journal of the Royal Institute of British Architects. LVI. p.258, implies that he was responsible for more of it.
