Background
Description
In 1767 Sir James Grant provided house stances for a new village called Lewiston after his eldest son, Lewis, the future 5th Earl of Seafield. In 1803, because of water supply problems and the unsightly appearance of the 30 houses, school and smiddy, it was decided to relocate the village to its present site by the river Coilty.
