Holly Cottage, Bridge Street

Holly Cottage is a ‘C ‘listed, early to mid 19th century cottage which has been altered through the years to suit its changing purpose.

It was home to the Denoon family. Donald Denoon (1814) a retired salmon fisher had a public house here in the late 19th century. His son, John Denoon (1856) was a butcher/flesher with an abattoir out back. John’s wife Mary Ann Hossack (1876), son Donald (1907), daughter Flora (1909), daughter Mary Ann Hossack Denoon (1911), and mother-in-law Mary Ann Hossack (1862) all lived here in Edwardian Rosemarkie.

The name ‘Holly Cottage’ came from the two ornamental holly bushes on either side of the front door/porch, which can be seen in early post cards. From family photographs, it seems the trees were cut down sometime in the World War 2 period. Across the road was the vegetable garden, and in the far corner was a well with good potable water. There were several good wells spread through the village. This plot has now been built on with a modern house. <1>
