Statement of Interest

A typical example of one of Culross burgh's little houses with central forestair and 2-leaf doors. The ground floor was probably used as cellarage or workshop with rear door directly opposite the entrance door. 1952 plans by W Schomburg Scott for the renovation of this property are stored at the NMRS.
