Related Information
William Hepburn was the proprietor of Rickarton House and estate on the north bank of the Cowie Water, some three miles north west of Stonehaven. The railings retained at No 5 survived wartime requisitioning (the fate of those formerly cresting the low boundary walls) due to the mill lade running along the side of Rickarton Cottages. LBR
