Former residents

John (Jake)and Mary Stewart moved from the Castle Shotts into Stewart Cottage in approx 1933. They rented the house from Marys friend Euphemia Downie. At that time Stewart cottage had a house on either side of it. The house to the east was in a bad state of repair. The ladies who owned it used to come up once a year to walk the right of way and Mary would make them a cup of tea and a pancake. The house to east backed straight on to earth at the rear and only had windows on the upper floor. The rear windows were at the same level as the ground. Stewart Cottage was similar with most of the windows facing the front. A close separated Stewart house from the house on the west and the close continued round the back of house to stairs giving right of way access to east house. In 1958 Mary and John swapped houses with Robert Stewart their son. Mary and John moved into Burnside Cottage Balmblae and Robert bought Stewart Cottage from Mrs Downie.
