History of Trinity House part 2

Wull Bisset also took a great deal of pride in something else in the gardens – the aviaries. In 1931 they were populated with budgerigars, scarlet macaws, cardinal birds, a couple of owls, kestrel hawk, two parrots, scores of canaries, and golden pheasants.

After death of Wull and his son James, the Buckie Hoose faded into Leven’s history. But what memories it left. During the 1930s, it was reckoned it attracted over 30,000 visitors each season. It remained popular, especially among locals, right into the 1970s.

History of Trinity House part 1

Commonly known as ‘The Buckie
Hoose’ or ‘The Shell House’, Trinity House has an interesting history. The gardens were open to the public, accommodating a small menagerie and was a local and visitor attraction.There are still a lot of postcards circulating of the Buckie Hoose, which probably underlines its lasting popularity though it closed 40 years ago.

It would seem work on ‘Wull’ Bisset’s house began around 1920, opening to the public some seven years later. Like many Levenmouth folk then he made his living at the
local pits, employed as a coal trimmer. He began the shell decorations as a hobby, one that literally grew to take over the house and the gardens. Such was his skill that this wasn’t just a case of using tidal debris as harling but a growing elaborate work of art.
