James Norie was a lawyer and town clerk in Stirling and built his fashionable new house in 1671. It even had its own well! The site belonged to his wife's parents and the family initials can be seen over the window, along with the Latin mottoes such as "Wisdom is the tree of life". At the top of the roof you can see Norie's wigged head looking down on you.
