Old Photograph Strichen House Scotland

Old photograph of Strichen House located eight miles from Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Strichen House, designed in 1821 in a commission for Thomas Fraser, 12th Lord Lovat, fell into ruin in 1954. As well as a country house it was variously used as a base for fishing, hunting, a hotel and an army barracks. Thomas Alexander Fraser, 12th Lord Lovat and 1st Baron Lovat KT, born 17 June 1802, died 28 June 1875, was a Scottish peer. He was also the 21st MacShimidh, the traditional Gaelic Patronym for the Chiefs of the Clan Fraser.
