Statement of Interest

Initials for John Duncan and Margaret Innes. Building

served from 1703 to 1722 as banking house for William Duff

of Dipple and Braco. Stone slabs for roof appear to have

come from Leggat's Quarry, New Spynie. Restored and harled

circa 1976. Now serves as shop with dwelling above.
