Statement of Interest

Executed work differs from illustrations published by Loudon; a degree of license was used when publishing these designs. NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNTS p.562 states that Francis Maxwell purchased Gribton estate in 1827 and began improvements in 1828.

Statutory address revised in 2019. Previously listed as 'Upper Cluden Farnhouse and Steading'.
