Scope and Content General view of Albion House in Church Street, Cromarty The royal burgh of Cromarty became a burgh of barony under Viscount Tarbat (later first Earl of Cromartie) in 1685. The town first prospered and later declined in the 19th century, but has been much restored since the 1980s. Built in the early 18th century, Albion House incorporates a marriage stone of 1713 which was taken from a nearby building which was demolished. It is a very picturesque and traditional building set with its gable-end onto the street. In common with many Cromarty houses, it is two-storeyed, harled and painted white. Its steep-pitched roof suggests that it was probably originally thatched. It also has crow-stepped gables, and small first-floor windows close to the wallhead or eaves.
