Statement of Interest

Starleybank was built prior to 1862 by Mr Hutchison, Session Clerk for Burntisland Parish Church who saved some panels from the old pulpit destroyed 1822 and from an 1862 Church refit, and later used them to line a summer house built to a design similar to the original pulpit. Mr Young saw the building and commented upon "this interesting house, lined with beautiful old oak panels of various patterns". The present owner saved 2 of these panels from the derelict building some years ago. By 1890 the building was occupied by John Wishart, manager of Grange distillery, and in 1960 the proprietor was British Aluminium.
