Date stone above the front door of 'The Auld Hoose' reads 1686 but is actually a marriage lintel reflecting the earliest owners of this ancient house - George Dishington and Isobel Strachan. The house is actually older than 1686 and a part of the garden wall has been dated to 1540. March 2022 A correspondent informed me: "I think that on the marriage lintel with the initials GD/IS, the 'I' is actually a 'J' and stands for Jean Strachan. George Dishington and Jean Strachan were married in Crail in 1683."
