Old Photograph Glasserton House Scotland
Old photograph of Glasserton house in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. This Scottish house and gardens were built on the large estate on the orders of the Honorable Admiral Keith Stewart, the second surviving son of Alexander Stewart, 6th Earl of Galloway who was given the Barony of Glasserton in 1767. The Statistical Account gives in 1795 a detailed description of his agricultural improvements, based on continued raising of the traditional black cattle. He died in 1795, and was succeeded by his son, Rt Hon James Alexander Stewart-Mackenzie, but the house was let and the contents were sold. He sold the house and grounds in 1819 to Stair Hathorn-Stewart at the neighbouring Physgill estate. That which is now called " Woodfall Gardens " was a part of the Glasserton and Physgill estate which was sold some thirty years ago and are now on show to the public.
