The cottage is steeped in the rich heritage of the famous James Keiller & Sons Dundee marmalade family Estate, Binrock. Janet Keiller, the inventive matriarch credited with the creation of Dundee marmalade, this picturesque cottage holds a unique place in the records of culinary history. Renowned gardener and television presenter Monty Don traces his lineage back to this very estate, as Janet Keiller was his great-great-great-grandmother.
