Statement of Interest

2 warehouses or girnals sited on quayside, both facing west.

Built by Cromarty Estate (Earls of Cromarty, Viscount(s)

Tarbat) to store grain from estates in Easter Ross. The earlier

girnal is mentioned in later 17th century Cromarty papers held

at Castle Leod. In 1798 Portmahomack consisted of "two stone

houses for reception of rents in kind and three houses". Roofs

of both warehouses are deteriorating. 1982 1793 map has

drawing of 3-storey, 3-bay warehouse, named as such.
