Statement of Interest

The gable-to-street pattern was traditional to 18th century houses of more crowded burghs, and it is a surprise to find it here, and of 19th century dates. Formerly known as the Kircowan Arms, the name changed in 1966, it served as a coaching inn for many years prior to this.
