The Dolphin, St. Monans

This building doesn't get a Blip outing very often, mainly because it's totally inappropriate for Port Appin.  It's The Dolphin, on the harbour at St. Monan's.  We visited there about 8 years ago and fell in love with this lovely little building, I came home and built a model of it.  Not a lot of planning!

The local heritage protection people say this about it...

This is important as a good example of its type. It has a range of Fife vernacular features. Although it has had dormers added and the colour scheme is inappropriate it still retains the now rare extant forestair. It was also one of the first of a number of houses in the conservation area to be restored under the National Trust for Scotland Little Houses Scheme. It further influences the character of the conservation area due to its central position within the harbour-front.
