Old Photograph Glorat House Scotland
Old photograph of Glorat House near Milton of Campsie, Scotland. Milton of Campsie is a large Scottish village in East Dunbartonshire, 10 miles North of Glasgow. Glorat was the home of the Stirling family of Glorat, created baronets in 1680. A tower house stood on the site in 1510. In the 17th century the tower was replaced by a larger house: a lintel survives dated 1625 and bearing the initials MS for Mungo Stirling. The house was extensively rebuilt in the Scots Baronial style in 1869, though some 17th century masonry remains. In 1879 a tower was added. The gardens were laid out in the first half of the 19th century. Blog post of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to travel and visit one day.
