  • Thanks for commenting Ewan. However the date does refer to the photograph not to the house! You are correct about the date of the house – Abercraig was built probably 1824-25. However I also think you are correct about the date of the photograph which I have changed to 1870s.

  • The age of the house stated is wrong, and may refer to when the photograph was taken, although I suspect it was earlier than that. It was built sometime around 1825. It is quite likely that the ferry boat Abercraig was named after it.
