Statement of Interest

Now divided into 10 apartments. This house is believed to have been built for Captain Adam Dundas, the name is derived from Inch Garvie Island on the River Forth, owned by the Dundas family. Inchgarvie House stands on the site of an older building, Springfield, that appears on the 1st Edition O S Map and on this site there once stood a Roman Watch Tower. The old lodge house to the estate stands at the drive's entrance but is much altered.
