Description: | Photographs and drawings of the cottages at the north end of Currie Brig including the Thatched House. This was originally the village alehouse and the window at the east end was used to dispense liquor - a carter could hold his horse and drink his beer at the same time. Anglers frequented the inn in the early nineteenth century. The thatch was burnt off the roof in the 1930s, and the building itself was burnt down in the 1940s. The Old Cottages were used by farm workers from Easter Currie Farm. | Source: | Heriot-Watt University | Address: | Mary Burton Centre, Level 1 Cameron Smail Librar, Heriot-Watt University,,
