Lintel of doorway inscribed 'James Rose Margaret Simson 1773'. Findhorn was the property of the Rose's of Kilravock (Nairnshire) from end of 17th century until sold to Sir Hector Munro of Novar in 1776, in whose family it remains today.
Nautilus shell decoration of skewputts is peculiar to Findhorn, Rafford (1776) and Forres (18th century and early 19th century examples). Similar panelled front doors survive in Forres.
