Old photograph of Dundas Castle near South Queensferry, Scotland. This Scottish castle was built in 1818 by the renowned architect William Burn. The Dundas family sold the property in 1875. In 1899 it was bought by Stewart Clark, in whose family the property remains. Clark was the owner of a Victorian textile company at Anchor Mills and became Deputy Lord Lieutenant in the County of Renfrewshire, was elected MP for Paisley by Glasgow and was respected for being a great philanthropist. During the Second World War, Dundas Castle served as the headquarters for protecting the Forth Bridge.
