Old Photograph Borthwick Hall Scotland
Old photograph of Borthwick Hall, Heriot, Midlothian, Scotland. Dating from 1852, the present house, the site of which was originally a hunting lodge for the Earls of Borthwick, was designed in the Baronial style by John Henderson, who also originated a number of Gothic Churches for the Scottish Episcopal Church. The first owner was the famous Seedsman and Nurseryman Sir Charles Lawson after whom Lawson Cypress was named. He served as Edinburgh’s Lord Provost from 1862 to 1865. From 1872 until 1926 it was owned by David Macfie whose crest may be seen in the Billiard Room fireplace. It was bought in 1926 by the eminent Edinburgh lawyer William Blair.
