Old Photograph Bargany House Scotland

Old photograph of Bargany House located South West of Dailly eight miles South of Maybole in South Ayrshire, Scotland. This Scottish mansion house dates from around 1681 and was one of the first unfortified houses in Scotland. The building was constructed using stone from a ruined castle on the banks of the nearby Girvan River. It is also noted for the Duke's Bridge, a 1756 addition. It was home to the Dalrymple Hamilton family. The estate has other literary connections, one of the cottages on the Bargany estate was birthplace to two Victorian poets: Reverend Hamilton Paul, born 1773, died 1854, who was also a biographer of Robert Burns, and Hew Ainslie, born 1792, died 1878.
