Statement of Interest

The 'excellent set of offices' mentioned in the NSA must refer to the dairy block, coach house/stable, and the curtain wall with footgate, all these structures have similar masonry treatment and appear on the 1848 plan of Kirkton in the Atlas of the Camperdown Estate. The staircase was probably re-aligned when the house was extended in 1846-7. Lundie Parish was united with Fowlis Easter from 1618-1953; the minister resided at Lundie.
