Previously occupied by the Policeman, Ogston, this house was renamed Craig Lourigan by Queen Victoria in 1875, and given to John Brown's mother. It is, therefore, possible that the Police cottage, known to be built in 1871, is Craiglourigan. It is a good example of a simple estate cottage with well detailed Tudor porch. Part of the group at Easter Balmoral.
