Statement of Interest

Group with Nos 2 and 3 Carron Terrace and 41-51 Cameron Street. The east end of Carron Terrace and Cameron Street constitutes a run of fine late 18th to early 19th century houses of some quality. Woodburn, with its fine stonework and from where a rare view of the sea can still be glimpsed, opens both of these streets in the planned New Town of Robert Barclay of Ury. The grid iron plan was laid out in 1797 on Arduthie Estate lands purchased by Robert's father (also Robert) in 1759.
