Old Photograph Longformacus House Scotland

Old photograph of Longformacus House in Berwickshire, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house was built in the 18th century by William Adam. William, born 1689, died 24 June 1748, was a Scottish architect, mason, and entrepreneur. He was the foremost architect of his time in Scotland, designing and building numerous country houses and public buildings, and often acting as contractor as well as architect. Among his best known works are Hopetoun House near Edinburgh, and Duff House in Banff. His individual, exuberant style built on the Palladian style, but with Baroque details inspired by Vanbrugh and Continental architecture.
