Full Description

ARC3 photographic record of the building prior to alteration to SMR 11/2004. Arch evaluation rep to folloow - HAW 12/2004

Letter from J Wombell in response to p/a & copied to SMR " the raised nature of the S part of the garden, held up close to the house by a retaining wall, is curious. It is a change of level incongruous with the levels on which the surrounding properties sit. It may have been entirely natural & it may have had substantial amounts of material added to this area when Elsick House was built. However, there is a local legend that following a battle between the Mackenzies & the Macdonnels in the 15th or 16th centuries nearby, the dead were buried somewhere about Elsick.." - HAW 11/2003
