INTERIOR: rear door leads to stone turnpike stair. Modernised interiors (circa 1958).
Many of the properties in Culross were named after the owner's name, as is the case here. The ground floor was once a dairy; cowsheds were attached to N gable and the yard was a farmyard. The building was converted into flats in the late 1950's by I G Lindsay & Partners for the NTS. The ground and 1st floor are given to one flat with access from the ground floor door in the S elevation. Access from the rear turnpike stair has been blocked at 1st floor and provides access to the 2nd floor flat. The building overlooks the Sandhaven, formerly a harbour, which was reclaimed in the late 19th century. For brief history of Culross Burgh see Culross, The Cross, The Study.
