In 1801 the Gardeners’ Friendly Society of Fraserburgh commissioned local mason Alexander Morrice to build the Saltoun Inn (fig 20). With its two parlours, dining room, six bedrooms and kitchen, large hall and drawing room, and garret, along with offices, garden and stable yard, it provided a fashionable place in which the burgh’s commercial classes could transact business, probably replacing the assembly rooms on the Shore. Although its roofscape dates from the later nineteenth century, its lower two floors are earlier, dating from 1801, if not to the earlier building on the site, Saltoun’s former Town-house. The original Kinnaird Head Castle stables were reused as its back court.
