Statement of Interest

The date 1726 on the gable was inscribed circa 1946-7, based on information found in the title deeds to the property. Pend to outer right links property with 9 High Street. It suggests an earlier conformity with the traditional Scottish pattern of gabled-end to street in burgh high street locations.
