Old Photograph Ladykirk House Scotland

Old photograph of Ladykirk House in Berwickshire, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house was built in 1797, to a design by the architect William Elliot, and it resembled Dundas House, which still stands in St Andrews Square, Edinburgh. It consisted of a central main block with adjoining symmetrical wings, and was built in the Classical style, with a central pediment and a parapet balustrade. Additions and alterations were undertaken in 1845 by William Burn. Ladykirk estate was owned by the Robertson family in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The initials of one of the Robertsons, 'W R', were carved into the datestone that was once incorporated into the fabric of Ladykirk House.
