TEA ROOMS CART SHEDS 1746

The Cartsheds were built immediately after the Jacobite uprising. They were originally used to house up to fifty carts for transporting provisions to the garrisons from suppliers in the town
.

In 1988-9 an archaeological dig dicovered the foundations of the 17th century Storekeeper's house which was demolished to build the Cartshed as well as a range of bronze age artefacts dating from around 900 BC.
