The apartment is owned by Fife Historic Buildings Trust, a local Building Preservation Trust. It is a company limited by guarantee and has charitable status.

We are very proud of our beautiful historic building and would love to welcome you here.
John McDouall Stuart was born in this house in 1815 and later emigrated ‘down under’ where he led the first expedition to cross Australia from south to north in 1862. He is a celebrated figure in Australia, where he has a 950-mile highway named after him. The holiday apartment occupies the upper two floors of a three-storey B-listed building. The rooms have been decorated in keeping with the style of the building, retaining period features, such as the window shutters.

“Breath taking view of Firth of the Forth”
Such an amazing place; waking up to watch the sunrise and end the day with sunsets. Was privileged to stay in the house of John Mcdouall which is very well maintained. The famous harbour (2.mins walk) where Outlander series was filmed cant be missed. Thank you Dysart / Fife! My family and myself have explored several places and had an awesome time. Didnt want to.travel back to London as we have fallen in love with this place.

Response from the owner Thank you very much for your review. We're pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and appreciate the feedback so we can improve things for future guests. The apartment has been converted to maintain the character and history of the building. The kitchen was designed to be large enough for two people to comfortably be in the kitchen preparing food and clearing up etc. We have provided a separate 'butchers trolley' to provide extra space for food preparation. A blind has now been fitted in the bedroom. We are sorry this wasn't available for your stay. The wifi is now password-protected. Thank you again for your review.
