Old Photograph Skeldon House Scotland
Old photograph of Skeldon House in East Ayrshire, Scotland. Kerse Castle is said to be have been dismantled for use in the building of Skeldon House circa 1760 by Mr Ross of Sandwick. Alexander Craufurd was the last male Craufurd proprietor of Kerse as his heir, a daughter named Christian Crawford of Kerse, married a Mr. Moodie. The couple had no offspring and she passed the lands of Kerse to William Ross of Sandwick. The Ross family built Skeldon House circa 1760. The estate of Kerse then passed to his children who sold it to the Oswalds of Auchencruive, with whom it still remained into the 19th century. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
