The pigs were kept out on the Moss Road, near what was then the local tip. I also seem to remember that he was a McArthur, but then again my memory may be playing tricks.
As I have been out of the town for nearly 40 years, I'm sure that a local can give better info.
Added later:
I have just looked on Google Streetview. The house before Pierview on Low Askomil is called Tiree (note different spelling). Could this be the same house?
