Old Photograph Lindsay House Cathcart Scotland
Old photograph of Lindsay House at the north end of the Old Bridge, or Snuff Mill Bridge, in Cathcart, Glasgow, Scotland. This Scottish house was designed by John Baird, and built for David Lindsay in 1863. The tall, narrow baronial building seems out of keeping with the cottages in the area. It was said that the then Earl of Cathcart, whose permission had to be sought for the building, was most displeased when he realised the scale of the building. Above the door is a perfect monogram with all the letters of the name Lindsay intertwined. David Lindsay, born 1817, died 1902, owned the nearby mill, popularly known as the Snuff Mill. The chief products of the mill were paper and cardboard used in bookbinding. The mill closed after Lindsay's death. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
