Old Photograph Ashiestiel House Scotland

Old photograph of Ashiestiel House located four miles East of Innerleithen near Peebles in the Borders of Scotland. This was the home of Sir Walter Scott from 1804 to 1812 when he moved to Abbotsford. Although primarily remembered for his extensive literary works and his political engagement, Scott was an advocate, judge and legal administrator by profession, and throughout his career combined his writing and editing work with his daily occupation as Clerk of Session and Sheriff-Depute of Selkirkshire.
