The nearest cottage is probably one of the original cottages built on this street which links Old Keith, down the hill to the left, with New Keith, founded in 1750 by the Earl of Seafield. It, and its neighbours, would probably have been thatched to begin with, but by the late 19th century slate roofs were becoming the norm.
