Old Photographs Barochan House Scotland
Old photograph of Barochan House near Houston village which is located six miles north-west of Paisley, Scotland. Barochan is a small village and rural area to the north-east of Houston. The surrounding country contains Barochan House, a former tower house dating back to the 16th century, and Barochan Hill which was the site of a Roman fort and used for light anti-aircraft defences during the Second World War. The hamlet surrounds the former Mill of Barochan on the Barochan Burn. Nearby was the original site of the Barochan Cross, a Celtic Christian cross possibly carved in the 8th century. It was moved a short distance in the late 19th century before being taken to Paisley Abbey for preservation.
