Statement of Interest

These cottage and neighbouring Albert Cottage (see separate listing) were probably tied cottages belonging to the surrounding Cromlix estate, predating the Doune Road villa developments of the mid to late 19th century. Calderwood Place marked the western limit of Dunblane until 1854.
