Old Photograph Barra Castle Scotland
Old photograph of Barra Castle, Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. This Scottish castle was the chief residence of Chancellor George Seton who enlarged the Castle in 1614 and 1618. George Seton maintained it until his death in 1627, when the Castle passed to his nephew, William Seton last of the Seton's of Meldrum. William held the Castle for three years until 1630 when he sold it to James Reid, who's grandson was created a baronet in 1703, and who's family kept Barra until 1753, before it passed to the Ramsay family. The Ramsay’s held Barra in the 18th century, when it passed again by marriage to the Forbes Irvine family of Drum.
