Old Photograph Biel House Scotland

Old photograph of Biel House near Dunbar in East Lothian, Scotland. The Biel estate was originally owned by the Earls of Dunbar, then by Robert Lauder of The Bass. Sir James Hamilton, Sheriff of Lanark, bought Biel in 1641. William Hamilton Nisbet succeeded to the Biel lands and made Biel House his residence. The present Biel House is a 16th century building, formerly owned by the Earls of Belhaven. William Atkinson extended it between 1814 and 1818, and in the early twentieth century, further interior alterations were made by R.R.Anderson.
