Old Photograph Cavers House Scotland

Old photograph of Cavers House near Hawick, Scotland. Tour Scottish Borders. Cavers House was inhabited by a branch of the Douglas family until the twentieth descendent, James Douglas died in 1878 leaving no male heir. The property passed to his niece Mary Malcolm who married Captain Edward Palmer in 1879 and the property was substantially re-modelled as Cavers House between 1881 and 1887. The house eventually became disused and was made available to the British Army for use in a demolition by explosives exercise in 1953.
