Statement of Interest

Before 1829 the manse of Alves was in a ruinous state

and the Minister granted (1829) $40 per annum in lieu of

manse until 1834 when the new manse was to be completed

on a site westwards of the old. The new site was agreed

for the new steading and walled garden by 1829 and these

were completed before the manse which was finished in

1835.

William Robertson is known to have worked for Mr

Alexander Forteath of Newton, one of the Heritors and

probably for Miss Brodie of Milton Brodie, another

Heritor.
