Old Photograph Lethen House Scotland
Old photograph of Lethen House near Nairn, Moray, Scotland. This 18th century Scottish mansion house was the home of Alexander Brodie of Lethen. Descended from the Brodies of Brodie, Alexander Brodie’s family had been settled at Lethen since 1630. In 1734 his chief, Alexander Brodie of Brodie, offered to bring him into Parliament for Nairnshire. But when his cousin, John Campbell of Cawdor, stood for Nairnshire, he joined John and Duncan Forbes in supporting Campbell. Returned for Nairnshire in 1735 at a by-election caused by Campbell’s choosing to sit for Pembrokeshire, England, he voted with the Administration on the Spanish convention in 1739 and the place bill in 1740. During the Forty five rebellion he supported the Government, raising troops to join General Cope’s army.2 He died 28 April 1770. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
