Old Photograph Innes House Scotland

Old photograph of Innes House near Elgin, Moray, Scotland. Innes House was built by Sir Robert Innes between 1640 and 1651 and was the home of the Innes family until 1767 when Sir James Innes went bankrupt and sold the estate to the 2nd Earl of Fife. At the beginning of the last century the house was bought by Francis and Annie Tennant who enlarged and modernised the house. Francis was the second son of the first Lord Glenconner whose grandfather invented bleaching powder. Lord Glenconner was one of the great Scottish industrialists of the 19th century who amongst other achievements had his last child when he was 85, she became Baroness Elliott of Harwood and when she died in 1997 aged 98, her father had been born the year before the Battle of Waterloo.
