We visited Harvieston on 9 Sep and took this picture.

It is all a bit sad really, the house appeared to be rather poorly maintained, and we met someone on the way out who told us that the house was now split into 9 flats, and that the grounds between the house and the main road have been sold to Wimpey for housing development.

Such is progress!@

Here is the scan - with 1 mm. off top and bottom because it is on a sheet of paper larger than the scanner.
It feels like old paper, though whether it is actually the original I can't be certain.  But it probably is,
since it came down to me through a Macfie who married my great-grandfather.

Hi

I have an ancient notice dated Harvieston, 22d Sept 1817 concerning the Shooting of Pigeons and starting
Whereas Mr Cranston has for some time past suffered great inconvenience and prejudice by idle and disorderly people Shooting at and Destroying his PIGEONS .................................

Will try to post an image of it if anyone is interested.

Hoping to visit Harvieston on our way back from Perthsire on 8 or 9 Sept
