What is recorded here
This black commemorative plaque records: Murdoch's Pistol Factory: This wall is all that remains of Murdoch's pistol factory, the outline of its windows and doors now infilled with brick. Before demolition, it became Tinlin's Smiddy. Most of its stone was used in the foundations of a bakery extension to the rear of 52 Main Street. Recorded plaque organisation: Kilmadock Development Trust.
Murdoch's Pistol Factory was a significant local industry in the 18th century, contributing to the regional economy through arms manufacturing before its conversion and eventual demolition.
