Introduction
Tayfield Mains only ever seems to refer to the same 3 properties (the present-day Tayfield Mains). Strawberry Bank and Park-knowe were used as names for all 4 properties (3 at present-day Tayfield Mains and 1 at present-day Strawberry Bank). It is therefore sometimes difficult to tell which property is being referred to.
