Statement of Interest

Ineravon was formerly named Ethelstone and was the home of Douglas C Thomson, the newpaper publisher. The house was sub-divided, probably in the 1960s, but was restored to one house in the 1980s; the staircase was re-instated by Ian Carr of Knapp, Inchture and the hall ceiling light by Arcadia Glass, Stonehaven. Thomson was a pioneer motorist and there is an altered 1905 brick motor house at the rear of the house.
