This may be the very cottage where Bremner had an indelible experience. He writes in his autobiography “I never spent such a night. The melting snow was trickling on to the bed through apertures in the ceiling. Rats were running about, and in a far corner there happened to be a fowl cackling away from time to time. In the morning I found it had laid the largest egg I ever saw. Needless to say I had it for breakfast" (My Forty Years in India, 1940, p. 51)
