This is the derelict cottage that stands about 500 mt along the road from my daughters new 'old' house. My daughter has just moved into an old agricultural cottage, it's owned by the farmer and is the first on three old cottages along a small road in a now non-existent hamlet called Salmondsmuir. Apparently the house my daughter rents used to be a small village shop, this one that stands derelict used to be a blacksmith and the end one is rented by the same people who have lived there most of their lives. If I were a rich lady I would liberate this derelict smithy from the farmer and rebuild it.............
