Statement of Interest

Corriemar is thought to have been the dower house for nearby Silverburn House. In 1973 Major Russell gifted the Silverburn Estate to Leven Town Council and the National Trust for Scotland. Both houses were used for day patients from Stratheden Hospital until 1970. Style of Peddie & Kinnear, architects.
