Old Photograph Trumland House Rousay Orkney Scotland
Old photograph of Trumland House, Rousay, Orkney Islands, Scotland. David Bryce was commissioned by Lt Gen Frederick W Traill Burroughs to design this house. Built in the Scottish Jacobean style, three stories high with an attic. Frederick William Traill-Burroughs, born 1831, died 9 April 1905, was a British army officer. He was born in India, fought in Crimea at the Battle of Alma, at the siege town of Lucknow in India and in the North West Frontier. After a spell in command at Edinburgh Castle he retired from the army. On his return from India, he visited Rousay, Orkney, where he built a large house at Trumland; he had inherited much of the island and gradually bought more of it, carrying out many improvements. He died in London, Rngland, and is buried there in Brompton Cemetery.
