Previous uses
Home for Roman Catholic orphan boys (up to age 14)[3] until 1908, then to be used to accommodate gardeners (presumably for Falkland Palace).[4]
In 1904 the Burgh Council complained that some of the blocks of the "causeway" in front of the house had been lifted up and replaced with a flower bed, as George Quilter, crippled son of Mrs Getrude Quilter, matron of the home, loved to look at flowers.[5]
Later shop.[1]
