Hi

The farmer from East Balhagarty Farm has confirmed that the house now known as Braeburn used to be called Petrieston and that it was "some kind of shop".

Valerie, you have done great with this  :)

Is this the house I wonder www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-32101208.html/svr/2710;jsessionid=4B0908BC7D493A323857E08E74677438

Seems right sort of area from the old maps...

Hi

Happy to help, it had turned into a bit of a challenge, and yes, that's the right website.  I've no access to records, but I live on the Garvock and can help with the local area.  The website www.laurencekirkAB30.com has a lovely picture taken from the top of the Garvock looking towards Laurencekirk which gives an idea of what it's like round here.
