Statement of Interest

Linlathen House was built for David Graham in 1705 and extended for Thomas Erskine by William Sterling in circa 1830; the house was finally demolished in the 1980s. The south drive, lodge and gates (listed separately) together with this bridge appear on the 1857-58 OS map but not on the 1827 plan of the estate. It is therefore likely that they were all constructed following the extension of Linlathen House in circa 1830.
