Old Photographs Pitcorthie House Scotland
Old photograph of Pitcorthie House located North of Pittenweem, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. A Georgian Neo-Classical mansion of ashlar construction with four bays either side of the entrance with single storey wings. The entrance lay behind a massive full height Doric collonade portico and was the residence of George Simson Esq. who died at Pitcorthie on 7 July 1848 age 82. This Scottish mansion house is particularly similar in style to both Camperdown House in Dundee, designed by William Burn, and Balbirnie house in Markinch, designed by Richard Crighton, both fine estates, which had family connections to the Simsons. Early in 1901 Andrew Grant Member of Parliament took over Pitcorthie. died at Pitcorthie House, on 23rd October 1924.
