Old Photograph St. Mary's Tower House Birnam Scotland
Old photograph of St. Mary's Tower house in Birnam, Perthshire, Scotland. Sir John Everett Millais and Beatrix Potter were often visitors to this mansion house. Helen Beatrix Potter, born, 28 July 1866, died 22 December 1943, was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Born into a privileged household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets and spent holidays in Scotland and the Lake District in England, developing a love of landscape, flora and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted.
