The original part of the Inn was built as a manse for the Free Church of Scotland in the 19th century, a few years after man-made lochs were constructed around 1847 to provide water supplies for Dundee. The Inn is located immediately in front of one of those lochs which are in the Monikie Country Park, popular for fishing, water-sports and nature walks.

When we were improving the building we found certain items, one of which was an extract from Nelson's geography primer for the younger pupil - the subject is British America (what we call Canada!) and the book was owned by John McIntyre, son of the first vicar, in 1862.

The building is also said to be haunted! We have yet to see something physical happen but there certainly have been a few occurrences which could do with further explanation! We would love to hear from anyone with any information or experiences from the past!
