Outstanding in its attention to detail and sympathetic dimensions on this strategic, but awkward, site in the heart of Stonehaven's Old Town. This local authority development (now largely in private ownership) is a fine example of social housing in the Scottish 17th century style predominant in the inter-war period for this building type. Stonehaven Burgh Council purchased the land from the Stonehaven Gas Company on 10th August, 1935. The owner of No 17 King Street has found a floorboard bearing the signature of an electrician and dated 1941. In 1944 a mine exploded in the harbour, sufficiently damaging the houses to force residents to leave, and not return for some two years. Close to some important historic landmarks, and just a few steps from the harbour, it remains a popular and sought after residential location.
