Old Photographs Drimsynie House Scotland
Old photograph of Drimsynie House near Lochgoilhead, Argyll, Scotland. This Scottish house is located on the North West edge of Loch Goil. Drimsynie was home to the Dempster family in the late 19th and early 20th century. John Dempster built a golf course below the house and used to moor his yacht Vol au Vent below the golf course on the Loch. The Dempsters were still at Drimsynie until around 1905 when they moved to Methven Castle near Perth, Perthshire. John Dempster was the son of Robert Dempster and Elizabeth Bonello. He married Mary Emma Walker. He lived at Methven Castle and before that he lived at Drimsynie House in Argyllshire, and at Keele Hall, Staffordshire, England. He was decorated with the award of the Kaiser Cup, with his yacht Vol au Vent for the Heligoland Yacht Race. The Cup was presented by Kaiser Wilhelm II.
