Construction on site of Crosslet House
Crosslet House was built c.1850 for Sheriff Humphrey Walter Campbell; it was later occupied by the future Lord Overtoun, and then by other members of his family. From 1950 to 1974, Crosslet House was a residential nursery. After being put to other uses, the house was demolished (from September–November 2015), and the site cleared. A new care home was then built on the site: it opened in 2017.
