Old Photograph Eglinton Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Eglinton Castle, Kilwinning, Ayrshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle, though now in ruins, was a relatively modern building, the mansion having been completed as recently as 1802. The earliest known castle here, which even then was the chief seat of the Montgomeries, was burned by the Cunninghames of Glencairn in 1528. One of the side wings of the 1802 castle was known to the servants as Bedlam, this being where the Montgomerie's children had their rooms.
