Statement of Interest

Property of the Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorn. A letter from James Menzies, dated 1774, gives an account of work carried out on the estate during that year, and mentions "three large byres to James Fenton, Hatton". The adjacent steading retains some evidence of building from this period.
