Old photograph of Auchmore House near Killin, Scotland. This Scottish Country House, which was built for the 4th Earl of Breadalbane was demolished in 1962. James Elliot, born 1770, died 1810, was the Architect. James ran an architecture practice in London and Edinburgh with his brother Archibald Elliot. Following James' death in 1810, Archibald ran the company on his own. Amongst his works he contributed to many significant buildings and streets in Edinburgh including St Paul's and St George's Church, Rutland Square, the Regent Bridge, the Waterloo Hotel and Calton Prison on Calton Hill. He was also involved with work on many country houses in Scotland, including Blair Castle and Taymouth Castle in Perthshire, Loudoun Castle in Ayrshire, and Stobo Castle.
