| Administrative History | John McLean (1845-1922) worked at pottery at Dores and lived at Pottery Cottage with his family. The depositor of the photographs is a descendant of the McLean family who lived there. The pottery was known as Aldourie Pottery and was established by Mary Watts (nee Fraser Tytler) from c1900. Mary married G F Watts, a well-known 19th century artist. It appears that the Pottery operated only for a few years but the building stood until 1950. Dores Parish Hall is now situated on the site. Pottery Cottage was demolished in the 21st century, prior to 2007 and in its place stands a modern bed and breakfast establishment known as Pottery House. |
