Old Photograph Colonsay House Scotland
Old photograph of Colonsay House, a Georgian country house on the Island of Colonsay, Inner Hebrides, Scotland. The central part of the house, was first built by the McNeill family in 1722. It was extended twice between 1722 and the early 20th century. Since 1904 the house has been the property of the island's owners, the Barons Strathcona, and is currently occupied by the present baron's eldest son, Alexander Howard and his family. The house has a public rhododendron and woodland garden covering some 30 acres. This informal woodland garden is famous for the outstanding collection of species and hybrid rhododendrons, and for unusual trees and shrubs sourced from all over the world from the 1930s. It is considered to be one of the finest rhododendron gardens in Scotland.
