Statement of Interest

Formerly listed as 2 separate houses. The current occupant believes that the N house may have been a brewery; with the nearby Tron Shop serving as a granary. The road which runs behind the Town-House and the Tron House is probably the route of one of the original roads of medieval Culross as the Firth of Forth came up to the Sandhaven area prior to reclamation in the late 19th century. For brief history of Culross Burgh see Culross, The Cross, The Study.
