Statement of Interest

There is a photograph of a plan and elevation drawing by William Burn in NMRS collection which dates from 1827. The building which stands is clearly based upon this, although developed in various ways. It is therefore not certain that this is by Burn. The boundary walls are listed with Kimmerghame House, see separate listing.
