1-3, Lodge Walk, Fraserburgh

Low single-storey and attic with wooden dormers, old coped chimneys. (Historic Environment Scotland List Entry)

The 1st edition OS (1;2;500 series) map features a property annotated due South of the cottages, Brick Lodge, with Commerce Street effectively terminating at Lodge Walk. By the 2nd edition map Commerce Street has been lengthened to junction with another newly laid-out road, Charlotte Street, creating the triangular shaped block the cottages remain sited within. Walker & Woodworth suggest the cottages may be the oldest buildings to remain within Fraserburgh's old town.

29 September 2015: Unclear whether the buildings are in use - they could be utilised as part of the adjacent yard. Otherwise, windows boarded up and roof with a number of missing/ slipped slates. For Investigation.

8 October 2015: External inspection finds the pair of cottages, now part of a traffic island street layout, latterly forming part of an industrial yard or workshop. There is evidence of damp rising through walls at street level alongside loss of rainwater goods and plant growth within walls. There is some loss of roof covering (more notaby to rear pitch) and evidence of movement to the roof. Move to At Risk.
