Statement of Interest

Said locally that Old Urray barn incorporates former

ecclesiastical building. Earlier manse built circa 1750 and

"it was then the best in the synod". The unusual height of

the barn, and its large size, suggest it might incorporate

some of an earlier manse. Barn resembles the "rent girnals" of

the richer Easter Ross cornlands. Re-used stable door handle

of unusual quality.
