It appears there was a house on the site of 49, Easter Cornton Road since at least 1872, as this map from 1848-1872 shows (it is a small rectangle on the middle of the map under the "Site of Battle AD 1297 Cornton"). The 1901 census shows it as being part of Easter Cornton Farm, owned by a Mr McLaren. So the house is likely to have been a farm cottage.
Different altogether was the use of the fields opposite, where the Barnwell Brothers made the earliest powered flights in Scotland.
More on all this later ....
