Hi Mirrin, I currently stay in Breich and used to go to the Breich Inns all the time before it was closed and knocked down. The owner when this happened is a Councillor now. could be worth an email to him as he might know a lot more information? Gordon Beurskens is his name.

Each [owned/feued but not rented] property in Scotland has a search sheet in the relevant county of the Register of Sasines. The First Series started in about the 1870s and each sheet transferred to the Second Series later between 1890 & 1905. The search sheet shows the recording details of each change of ownership. The first Series sometimes had marginal notes giving the dates of earlier deeds so you may be able to find the date of the first recorded deed which may indicate date of building.

Through my work I have access to the online indexes of search sheets. If you like I can look up the Breich Inn - it may have in fact been rented from the local estate so will have no search sheet. Search sheets themselves cost £3.60 to download [they cost more if you obtain them through search firms].

EDIT: The Land Register has taken over from the Sasines in the past 20 years or so but the Sasine search sheets are still available from before the time that a property is transferred.
