Statement of Interest

B Group with Burnside, Craig Gowan, Craig Gowan Memorial Drinking Basin, 1 Ivy Cottage, 1 and 2 Jubilee Cottages, Post Office Shop and Tigh-Na-Barr, Rhebreck and Rhebreck Water Tank.

Previously occupied by the Policeman, Ogston, this house was renamed Craig Lourigan by Queen Victoria in 1875, and given to John Brown's mother. It is, therefore, possible that the Police cottage, known to be built in 1871, is Craiglourigan. It is a good example of a simple estate cottage with well detailed Tudor porch. Part of the group at Easter Balmoral.
