Description
An ornate decorative cast iron arch supporting a large lantern of orange-red glass, which presumably was once illuminated by an oil or gas lamp.
Installed over doorway to a house built in 1712. Used around 1746 by Rev Alexander Grieg for Episcopalian services, when because of support for the Jacobite cause legislation by the (Hanoverian) government prohibited congregations of more than five. In the 1850s the house was home to Peter Christian, solicitor and Sheriff's clerk for Kincardineshire. The Doorway probably originally led through into courtyard area
