The present old horseshoe pipes conducting the water from a spring in the Glebe to a tank at the bottom of it have become defective and choked up. Your obedient servant, George Gavin." "My Lord, The meeting called to consider the minister’s proposal to light the Manse by electricity was held yesterday. After discussing the details in the minister’s scheme it was unanimously resolved that, while the heritors would place no obstacle in the way of his introducing electric light into the Manse, they could not agree to his request to take the plant over from him on his leaving the parish. ... Your obedient servant, George Gavin." Notes Gallery [Click on a picture below to see the image full-size] Seen from the main road Seen from the main road A closer view
