Statement of Interest

Gatepiers formerly stood at entrance of Elgin house of the

Anderson's of Linkwood, subsequently belonging to Elizabeth,

Duchess of Gordon. She sold the property to the 'Elgin

Magistrates' in 1837, the house was demolished and the County

buildings and courthouse, designed by William Robertson,

constructed on site. These were demolished in turn, to make

way for present District Buildings. Gatepiers re-erected

in present position at Pitgaveny in 1837.
