Old Photograph Battleby House Perthshire Scotland
Old photograph of Battleby House located four miles North of Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. The Battleby estate was acquired in the 19th century by the Maxtone Graham family. The house was built around 1862, to designs by the Perth based architect David Smart. Later in the 19th century the house was leased, and served as a hospital during the First World War. Battleby was bought in 1947 by Sir Alexander Cross, who built up an important plant collection in the grounds. In 1970 the house was purchased by the Countryside Commission for Scotland. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
