Field Visit (April 1989)
House (H on fig.). Five-bay 13.2m frontage, continuing the line of the W gable of the adjacent former manse (No. 201, G) and probably built in the same year, 1776. Three of the ground-floor openings are doorways, the central one giving access to a pend and the others to shops. Except for one enlarged shop-window all of the openings bear 35mmchamfers on the jambs and lintels, which were probably reused material made available by the demolition of the old town at that date. The interior has been remodelled, but retains its timber dog-leg stair, which rises at the E end of the N wall of the pend.
