Field Visit (April 1989)
House (K on fig.). Built by John Marr for Bailie John Colquhoun in 1774-5. The five-bay l3m frontage resembles those of the two houses to the N except that only two of the ground-floor openings are doorways, the S one entering a pend and the other direct into a shop. The ground-floor windows have been enlarged but the original openings are round-arrised. The former ashlar skews were removed about 1960. The interior has been renovated but preserves its geometrical timber stair, entered obliquely in the N wall of the pend. The outhouses at the back formerly included a bakehouse.
