Statement of Interest

In 1596 William Boswell occupied this building, with the Robertsons's of Newbigging in ownership by 1679. George Robertson sold in 1754, and it finally passed to the officials of Lodge Dunearn in 1914 (Lodge Dunearn 400 was consecrated 1859 at a hall in Kirkgate).

The 17th century inset panel (defaced) is inscribed "Blisst be God for all His vageis".
