Old Photographs Polmood House Scotland
Old photograph of Polmood house near Tweedsmuir in the Scottish Borders, Scotland. Polmood was for many centuries the centre of the Hunter family in the lowlands and the earliest record was a charter dated 1057 to Norman Hunter of Polmood. The house was the in the possession of the Hunter family from at least as early as the second quarter of the 15th century until the end of the 18th century. By 1864, however, the house was completely ruinous and shortly afterwards it was rebuilt by Houston Mitchell, who had purchased the property in 1847. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
