Statement of Interest

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

Presumably this is the cottage described in the archives as that built for Mrs Grant in 1850. The porch is a variant of that at the principal cottage, Allt-na-giubhsaich, and therefore presumably also a later addition. Simple cottage picking up on estate detailing and contributing positively to the hamlet's streetscape. Part of the group at Easter Balmoral.
