Publication Account (1999)

Heron House, once called Herring House, also on Helen Place, is a further example of an eighteenth-century building. Originally built as a barn, it takes its name either from the fact that it was used for gutting herring and repairing fishing nets or from Helen McRitchie, who lived nearby in Yoll Cottage.

Information from ‘Historic North Queensferry and the Peninsula: The Archaeological Implications of Development’ (1999).
