A large and neatly built farm house with extensive offices, garden, and arable farm attached: the property of Mr. Buchan of Manchester. The land is divided between two tenants, who have each separate dwelling houses and offices, both being known as "Balchristie". The farm steading is supposed to occupy the site of the ancient village of that name, and a religious establishment is believe to have existed here at a very remote period. On one of the offices, is the following inscription. "F.I.M.M. 1673" The lands of Balchristie were given to the Culdees by Malcolm and Queen Margaret. It is said the foundations of the ancient Culdee church was dug up about fifty years ago. |
