William Baxter held the license for the Crown & Anchor situated in Kingdon Street, Scone in 1850.

He had enlarged the Stabling and provided a large well watered and commodious paddock formerly attached to the Golden Fleece Inn where an abundant supply of grass was on hand. He was making arrangements to continue the Scone annual races on the old ground with the same eclat that had distinguished Races of former years.
