Old Photographs Ballikinrain Castle Scotland

Old photograph of Ballikinrain Castle located in the Parish of Killearn not far from Stirling, Scotland. This Scottish castle was built in 1868 for Sir Archibald Orr-Ewing, a Conservative Party politician. Orr-Ewing was Member of Parliament for Dunbartonshire from 1868 to 1892, and was created a baronet on 8 March 1886. He commissioned David Bryce to design a new house in the Scottish Baronial style, for his large estate. The castle was burned out in June 1913, the blaze being attributed to suffragettes, causing £100,000 of damage. It was rebuilt in 1916.
