Dating to the first decade of the 20th century, this wood frame cottage at Dunnottar, with a steep pyramidal hipped roof and wraparound porch, was probably built by Samuel Spink for his wife Agnes Ann Maguinnis (1856-1925) and their family. It passed into the possession of their daughter Pearl Alma Maud Spink (1886-1962) and her husband Harry Cecil McWilliams. Six generations of the McWilliams family have lived here.
