Notes: The Bishop of Brechin moved, that was to 'Rock Lodge', which, at the time, circa 1947/8, was 16 or 18 Dundee Road, as Ravenscraig, immediately west, was 12 and the chaffeur's house was 14. 'Taycliff' was next in an eastward direction and was 20. 'Rock Lodge' (formerly Mrs. Tosh) became Forbes Court and was demolished in the 1950s. Of course, it's principal feature was its circular shape, which was westmost and would not have been considered suitable for the addition of a wing, given the relative normality which still existed at that time.
