Checked the History of Lanark by W Davidson and got the word "Quarter". My they have certainly altered the quote for their own needs!
Emailed to get the third entry Lanark House added so I can do it. JD 22/10/2013
Feb 12 - added it but the word 'not' should be underlined as in "it is not the Parish Manse"
