Statement of Special Interest
In 1815, Thomas Scott, builder, of Musselburgh bought
the property, and was probably responsible for the
alterations prior to his death in 1819. The property
may well have served as an Inn in the earlier to mid
19th century, as the inscription above the garden gate
suggests. Lean-to garage adjoined to gable end of 33
Inveresk Village (Byways Cottage) to E.
