Princess Street preserves many examples of old buildings

The refurbishment of this derelict property on the north side of Princess Street presented an opportunity to examine and record the interior. The main conclusions of this survey work were that the building began as a stone-walled structure at least to first floor level, aligned gable end on to the street. This was refronted in the 18th century when the gable was removed and the frontage re-built parallel with the street. It is possible that the stone-walled building was medieval in date.
