Statement of Interest

St Margaret's is almosts certainly 'the house formerly

occupied by the Episcopal Clergyman in Fochabers' remodelled

in 1838 at cost of $900. It appears to incorporate an earlier

dwelling (which is on 1825 plan of Fochabers); the stable

block does not appear on this 1825 plan and may be the

2-stalled stable, coach-house cow-house' mentioned in

prospectus of circa 1850 issued for sale of property of which

RHP 31774 is undated drawing (probably 1838) by William

Robertson, architect, Elgin.
