Statement of Interest

The N elevation swept roof dormer appears in MacGibbon & Ross as a small window abutting the eaves line, there is also a window to the outer left ground floor. The Hie Gait elevation shows another window to left at 1st floor, a tiny window to the right and only 2 doors at ground, while an earlier (1840) engraving shows no doors to this elevation.
