Former Free Kirk Manse
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 13 Oct 2017
The date on the main gable is 1887, when the manse was built, but it also incorporates a stone carved with the date 1843, taken from the previous manse which stood in Cluny Square. Above the door (obscured by the parked van) is a carving of the burning bush and motto 'nec tamen consumebatur' which has long been an emblem of the Church of Scotland. Other carvings feature three fish, an open book, a crown and a sailing boat.
