Has anyone a photo or drawing as to how the cup and saucer looked when it was in use ? or maybe a windmill like this one. I am hoping to paint it as it used to be but cant find anyone who knows what it looked like with its top on

I lived in Portsoy for several years and never knew "the cup and saucer" as anything else, and I never saw any pictures of it as a windmill, though I was told that that had been it's original purpose. At that time, I was told it was used for storing workmen's gardening tools. Have you tried the Local History section at the Library?

Have you tried contacting The Factor at Seafield House, Cullen, as they own just about everything in the area? They might have photos of the cup and saucer, or try the Archivist in Banff. It used to be located in or near the Town House.
