Old Photograph St Imier House Scotland
Old photograph of St Imier house, Bridge of Gairn, Glengarden near Ballater, Royal Deeside, Scotland. This Tudor villa was designed and built for Swiss artist, Rudolf Christen in 1902. Rudolf Christen died just four years after building St Imier. His wife, a gifted amateur water-colourist, went on to run a gallery in Belfast, Ireland, and to write a biography of her husband entitled An Artist's Life. She also gave a prize to the local school, to be awarded annually to the most popular child as determined by the children themselves. The next owner of St Imier was Colonel Stewart, author of a book on tiger shooting, of the Indian army. He died in the 1950s, leaving the house to his friend Lord Lyall.
