Old Photograph Craigenputtock House Scotland
Old photograph of Craigenputtock house in the parish of Dunscore located nine miles North West of Dumfries, Scotland. This Scottish house was the property for generations of the family Welsh, and eventually that of their heiress, Jane Baillie Welsh Carlyle, born 1801, died 1866, descended on the paternal side from Elizabeth, the youngest daughter of John Knox. The Carlyles made this house their home in 1828, and remained there for seven years, before moving to Carlyle's House in Cheyne Row, London, England, Britain. Craigenputtock is where Sartor Resartus by Thomas Carlyle was written. The property was bequeathed by Thomas Carlyle to the Edinburgh University on his death in 1881.
