Statement of Interest

20 Clifton Road now a restaurant. It abuts 19 Clifton Road,

also dating from 1629, but too altered to be included in

listing.

The Town of Elgin feued land from the estate of Kinnedar

(Brodie of Brodie) in 1698 and built a harbour, also

'marking off land in regular sections and streets' with a

'market place', though it is known that the area immediately

fronting this portion of Clifton Road was used for landing

ships before that date. 20 Clifton Road pre-dates the 1698

harbour and is the earliest surviving building in the burgh.
