TitleThe area shown outlined in blue on the sale plan was previously owned by Scott Brothers (Stirling) Limited. That company was dissolved in 1998, with the land owned by the company being transferred to Mr Robert Scott and Mrs Diane Scott (the parents of the Sellers). The intention of the Company had been to divest itself of its whole interest in the land at Lempockwells prior to dissolution. However, due to a poorly drawn plan being annexed to the Disposition in favour of Mr and Mrs Scott, the area shown outlined in blue on the sale plan was unintentionally excluded and, as a result, following the dissolution of the Company, fell into the ownership of the Crown. The Queen’s and Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer, being the Crown’s representative, has accepted that this has been a case of genuine error and has confirmed that it will disclaim any interest which the Crown may have in and to this area.
Viewing: The site is visible from the Lempockwells Road however entry to the site can be arranged by prior appointment.
