| Notes: | It is possible that the 'House for Mrs Fairley' (for which plans by W J Kennedy are in Edinburgh Dean of Guild) and 'Troqueer' (mentioned in W J Kennedy's LRIBA papers and for which plans for alterations are in Edinburgh Dean of Guild) are different buildings, but it seems likely that they are one and the same. B of S attributes the original Troqueer to James Archibald Morris, c.1914, but this would appear to be incorrect. CHECK |
