Old Photograph Lady Stair’s House Edinburgh Scotland

Old photograph of Lady Stair’s House in Edinburgh, Scotland. This Scottish house was built in 1622 for Sir Walter Gray of Pittendrum, but the interior has been converted since then. The building is named after the Gray's granddaughter, society beauty Lady Stair, Elizabeth, Dowager Countess of Stair; née Elizabeth Dundas, the widow of John Dalrymple, 1st Earl of Stair, who purchased the building in 1719. It is now a museum presenting the lives of three of the foremost Scottish writers: Robert Burns, Sir Walter Scott and Robert Louis Stevenson.
