Old Photograph Friars Carse Scotland

Old photograph of Friars Carse located one mile South East of Dumfries, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house is located on the west bank of the River Nith and is known for its strong associations with Robert Burns who lived for a while at the nearby Ellisland farm. Alexander Fergusson of Craigdarroch married Bonnie Anna Laurie or Annie Laurie in 1710, daughter of Sir Robert Laurie of Maxwelton, the Annie Laurie of the song. Although she lived at Craigdarroch for over 50 years, she died at Friars' Carse on the 5th of April 1764, aged 81.
